We’re down to the very final days leading up to Christmas Eve and Christmas festivities. So much excitement is in the air! With the hustle and bustle that’s taking place right now, I know the recipes we need most are quick dishes, sides, salads, simple cookie recipes, and appetizers to serve our hungry holiday guests! Whenever I’m entertaining at Christmas, no party is complete without a baked Brie appetizer. It’s a holiday must-have, must-make. Everyone loves melty Brie! I shared a recipe for prosciutto-wrapped brie in pastry a couple of years ago. It’s since become one of my personal favorites, I make it all the time. My family loves anything wrapped up in prosciutto. While I was in New York last week thinking up our very last holiday recipes, I wrote this idea down, and it stayed in my thoughts for days. I was so excited to return this past weekend to make these rolls! I knew they would turn out good, but they were even better than I pictured!
Details
Step 1: slice the brie and wrap in prosciutto Pick up your favorite wheel of Brie from the grocery, then slice it up into eight slices. Ideally, try to use a 12-ounce wheel of Brie. And there’s no need to peel away any of the rind. Leaving the rind on will ensure the yummy Brie bakes up nicely inside each pastry without too much mess. Now, take thin slices of deli prosciutto and wrap a single slice around a slice of Brie. The idea is to mostly cover the slice of Brie. Step 2: the pastry Take your sheets of thawed-out puff pastry and cut each sheet into 4 squares to make a total of 8 squares. Spread each square with fig preserves or use honey, whatever you prefer. Add the prosciutto-wrapped Brie and some freshly cracked black pepper. Step 3: baking Now, you can brush the pastries with a beaten egg and add a sprinkle of coarse sugar. This step isn’t needed, but it makes the pastry really sparkle. It’s fun for the holidays and adds such deliciousness too. Then just throw the brie rolls in the oven, and you’re done. When the pastries come out of the oven, serve them immediately. I like to drizzle them with honey, top with thyme, and then put some pomegranate arils on the side for festive color. Plus, I think these additions are delish. It’s hard to describe just how good these rolls are. The prosciutto really adds a savory saltiness that pairs so well with the rich Brie. And the honey on top just sweetens the deal. Make a few batches for everyone to enjoy. These will certainly be the most popular app on the table! Looking for other easy brie recipes??
