Description
Warm brie, baked to perfection with brandy, then topped with pomegranate seeds, pistachios, and a drizzle of honey. Serve with crackers or baguette for a festive appetizer.
Ingredients
- 1 round Brie
- 0.5 tbsp brandy
- 2 tbsp pomegranate seeds
- 1 tbsp pistachios
- 1 tbsp honey
- Crackers or baguette
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
- Tear a roundish piece of parchment paper large enough to hold the Brie, extending partly up the sides.
- Crumple the parchment into a ball, then flatten it out.
- Cut the top off the Brie with a sharp knife.
- Place the Brie on the parchment paper, then on a baking sheet.
- Pour brandy over the Brie.
- Bake for 12 minutes at 350°F (177°C), or until the Brie is very soft and melty.
- Remove the Brie from the oven.
- Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and pistachios.
- Drizzle with honey.
- Serve immediately with the crackers or baguette.
Notes
- For a stronger brandy flavor, increase the amount to 1 tablespoon and let it sit on the brie for 5 minutes before baking.
- Toasted pistachios offer a more intense flavor; toast them in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before sprinkling.
- Leftovers can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently before serving.
