Brie Recipe

............................................................................................................................................................................................ A lot of people don't like Brie. It's probably due to the strong flavor of the rind. I usually avoid that part myself and just stick to the good part in the middle.

Here is a quick and easy recipe I tried the other night that turned out really well.

.

Ingredients:

.

1 large round of Brie or 2 thick wedges about 10 oz more or less.

2 granny smith or any crisp tart apples of your choice

1/2 of a medium white onion

2 oz of raspberry preserves

1 pinch of salt

2 tbs olive oil

Slice the brie open lengthwise making two equal halves and place it into a shallow oven safe casserole dish with the soft part of the cheese facing up.

.

Slice the onion into very thin rings.

.

Heat a skillet to medium high and add 1tbs olive oil, onions and salt. Cook the onions until they are light brown and caramelized. Set aside.

.

Peel and slice the apples into bite size wedges and saute them in olive oil until they begin to carmelize. Set aside.

.

Preheat the oven broiler and place the cheese inside for a few minutes to soften it up.

.

In a small sauce pan heat the raspberry preserves. You can splash in a little white wine or brandy if you choose.

.

Once Brie barely starts to melt take it out of the broiler and add a layer of the caramelized onions and apples on top and again place in the broiler for about 2 min. Watch it carefully.

Using a spatula arrange the cheese apples and onions on a serving plate and lightly drizzle the hot raspberry preserves over the Brie. You can get decorative with it if you want.

.

This goes well with white wine and makes a good appetizer.
