Spiked Autumn Salad Baked Brie Recipes

SPIKED AUTUMN SALAD BAKED BRIE RECIPE

Steps:

• BRIE: Preheat oven to 425°F. To work with frozen kataifi, loosen or break the strands apart, keeping unworked portions moist under a damp towel.

Place the pastry-topped cheese on a sheet pan lined with buttered parchment and bake until the kataifi is crisp and golden brown-10 to 20 minutes depending on the size of the cheese. SALAD: In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, lime juice, cloves and cardamom seeds. Bring to a boil, add rum, reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Strain out spices and add dried apricots and dried cranberries,. Refrigerate overnight. 1 hour before serving, toss in apples, pears and pomegranate seeds. Refrigerate 1 hour. Surround baked Brie with salad. Garnish with cilantro. Serve immediately.
