PHYLLO-WRAPPED BRIE WITH APRICOT AND ROSEMARY CHUTNEY

Steps:

• To Make Chutney:
• Combine all ingredients except almonds in heavy large saucepan. Bring to boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until most liquid has evaporated and chutney is thick, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes. Mix in almonds. Transfer chutney to bowl.
• Chill until cold, about 3 hours. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover, keep chilled.)
• Assembly of cheese and phyllo:
• Brush heavy large baking sheet with butter; set aside. Unroll pastry. Cover with plastic wrap and damp kitchen towel. Transfer 2 stacked phyllo sheets to work surface, arranging 1 short side parallel to edge of work surface. Arrange 2 more stacked phyllo sheets on work surface, overlapping long side of first sheets by about 5 to 7 inches and forming rectangle about 18 by 17 inches. Brush pastry with butter; sprinkle 1 1/2 tablespoons rosemary over. Place 2 more stacked sheets atop first set of 2 sheets, then 2 more stacked sheets atop second set of 2 sheets. Brush with butter and sprinkle with 1 1/2 tablespoons rosemary. Repeat layering 1 more time with phyllo, butter and 1 1/2 tablespoons rosemary. (You will use a total of 12 sheets.)
• Using sharp knife or scissors, trim phyllo corners, forming approximately 17-inch oval. place Brie in center of phyllo. Spread 1 1/2 cups chutney evenly over cheese. Slide hand under 1 rounded corner of phyllo. Lift phyllo and fold onto top of cheese. Brush folded pastry with butter. Continue to lift phyllo in sections and to fold snugly over top of cheese, brushing with butter and pressing each section to adhere until cheese is wrapped (the top center 2 to 3 inches of cheese will not be covered). Use hand and metal spatula to transfer wrapped cheese to prepared baking sheet.
• Place 1 phyllo sheet on work surface. Brush with butter. Starting at 1 long side, fold 1 inch of pastry over. Continue folding pastry loosely over itself, forming 1-inch-wide strip of pastry over. Continue folding pastry loosely over itself, forming 1-inch-wide strip of pastry. Roll up strip into coil. Gather bottom edge of coil together, pinching to force top slightly open and forming rose. Place rose atop uncovered center of cheese. Brush with butter. Repeat with 2 more sheets of phyllo, forming 2 more roses. Place atop cheese, covering opening completely. Chill 3 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover with plastic; keep chilled.)
• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 400°F. Bake cheese until pastry is deep golden brown, covering roses loosely with foil if browning too quickly, about 25 minutes. (If cheese leaks from pastry during baking, press piece of foil over tear in pastry; continue baking.)
• Cool cheese on sheet 45 minutes.
• Presentation:
• Using metal spatula, transfer warm cheese to large platter. Arrange herbs, dried fruit, baguette slices and apple slices around cheese. Cut cheese into wedges.

PHYLLO-WRAPPED RASPBERRY BRIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or coat with cooking spray.
• Combine raspberry jam. dijon, red pepper flakes and rosemary in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for approximately 1 minute on high.
• Melt butter. Save 1 tablespoon for the end to coat.
• Place a phyllo sheet on parchment paper and brush lightly with butter. Repeat this step until all 12 sheets are layered and brushed with butter.
• Trim and discard the top rind of brie. Place in the center of the phyllo sheets. Spread jam mixture and slithered almond on top.
• Bring corners of the phyllo up and over the brie. The top center of the brie wheel should not be covered with phyllo sheets. Use remaining butter on phyllo if need.
• Bake 25-30 minutes until pastry is golden brown.
• Let stand 20-30 minutes before serving.
• Serve with favorite crackers, pears are delicious, or baguette slices.
• I have also made this recipe in a cast iron skillet on the grill. Spray the cast iron skillet with cooking spray. Place the phyllo sheets in skillet. Place the brie wheel in the center and top with jam mixture and slithered almonds. I would put it on the top rack of the grill to let it cook slowly. If you want it quickly, place on lower rack but you have to keep a close eye on it. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do.
• * Substitue: instead of raspberry jam you can mix together some peach and apricot jam with the same dijon and rosemary.
