Answer 7

BRIE AND HERB CHEESE IN PASTRY

1 (10"x9") sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 (14 oz.) wheel Brie cheese
2 (4 oz.) pkg. garlic & herb semi-soft cheese
1 egg, beaten to blend
1 tbsp. water

Lightly flour baking sheet. Place puff pastry on prepared sheet and roll out gently to remove fold lines. Place Brie in center of pastry. Spread 1 package semi-soft cheese on Brie. Turn Brie over spread remaining semi-soft cheese on second side. Bring pastry up around sides and over cheese, wrap completely and trim excess pastry. Turn over and place seam side down. (If prepared 1 day ahead, cover and refrigerate now, but bring to room temperature before baking.) Combine egg and water, brush over top.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake until golden brown; 30 to 35 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Serve warm. Serves 8 to 10.

BRIE STUFFED SPINACH

1 bunch fresh spinach leaves
8 oz. brie cheese
pepper jelly

Rinse spinach leaves. Cube cheese. Wrap one spinach leaf around each cube of brie.
Place on a baking sheet in such a way that the leaf completely surrounds cheese and so that it looks like a little "pillow" with the edges of the leaf tucked on the bottom. The weight of the "pillow" should hold the leaf down and keep it from unwrapping (or just use a toothpick to hold it closed).

Bake at 350°F degrees for 10-15 minutes or until leaf and cheese are just beginning to get warm. Leaf should NOT be withered.

Top with pepper jelly. Water chestnuts, green onion, walnuts, or pecans can also be added with brie before cooking.

BAKED BRIE

1 Brie cheese (lg. or sm.)
Chopped pecans or slivered almonds
1/2 c. brown sugar (or 1/4 c. for sm.)

Take top off of chilled brie cheese. Sprinkle evenly with nuts and brown sugar. Place in 350 degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until sugar is melted and brown. Serve with toasted bread or crackers. Garnish with red and green grapes.

Brie is a soft, cows' milk cheese named after Brie, the French province in which it originated (roughly corresponding to the modern département of Seine-et-Marne). It is pale in colour with a slight greyish tinge under crusty white mould; very soft and savoury with a hint of ammonia. The white mouldy rind is moderately tasteful and edible.

There are now many varieties of Brie made all over the world, including plain Brie, herbed varieties, double and triple Brie and versions of Brie made with other types of milk. Brie is perhaps the most well-known French cheese, and is popular throughout the world. Despite the variety of Bries, the French government officially certifies only two types of Brie to be sold under that name: Brie de Meaux (shown to the right) and Brie de Melun.
