Long ago I worked in a French restaurant that would serve baked brie occasionally and we did it with either apples or pears and I think walnuts but maybe pecans .
Well, I've been doing it wrong my whole life. Glad to finally know how to make a proper baked brie. It came out perfect and my family loved it as the Christmas appetizer.
Baked brie is so delicious. I haven't had it in years so I'm going to remedy that very soon. I'm going to bake this at my Sister's place this Christmas. 🤤
I make my brie with preserved roasted pecans and cranberries, then wrapped in puff pastry. I guess we all have our own ways of making our brie taste wonderful for any guests coming over.
I adore apricot jam - on seriously buttered toast, atop a slice of aged swiss cheese, that is... The ultimate baked brie (in my book...) is served with lightly warmed cloudberry jam - because the combination is simply amazing!
A major favorite. I appreciate the chilling tip. I've tried it with blueberry preserves with a dash of balsamic. Or, a sweet chopped nut spread. This doesn't last long at a party
I always liked Brie, but have never baked it. Im going to try this with my home made mango jam and and also with the sweet peppers and jalapeños jelly!! I'm so excited, can't wait. Thank you Dan and Julia. ❤. Happy Holidays!!
You guys. I bring you the absolute best filling option: fig preserves with freshly-shelled walnuts and picked thyme (and some flaky salt). I like to slice the brie in half like an oreo cookie, and freeze each half. Then place in as much filling as possible between the halves (the frozen cheese will help the preserves stay rigid and not slide all over the place), and then you wrap with the pastry. The super cold cheese will help to keep the pastry from getting too warm, and then you egg wash and bake. It's marvelous with crostini.
A good savoury option for baked Brie is to add chopped fresh basil, sun dried tomatoes, lots of freshly minced garlic, salt and pepper and a bit of olive oil. Add it on top before you bake.
I made this for our family gathering today! My pleats were a little wonky, but it transported well on the short drive over and was delicious. 🤤 Found a mango preserve instead of apricot and that was a hit, too!
That is genius! My brie always leaks out! 😨 I'm doing this from now on! Oh, & topping that lovely jam with toasted nuts 😊 Thank you for this idea! Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄
@@mariaconsuelothomen As someone who lived in France as well… they made this. We had a cheese and meat board every night after dinner, but the baked Brie was for the weekend. Brie en Croûte JSYK. 😎
It’s the edible “rind”. You can cut it off if you don’t like it. But, if you give it a chance, keep eating it, the taste grows on you and adds a lovely complexity. The Brie will be bland without it.
This looks so good I'm a sweetooth. I clicked on link in the description but i can't even view the recipe it says you have to sign up why. I just wanna view it
@@Jaxthewonderhusky In the video, they topped the baked brie with apricot preserves. But the thumbnail image is from ATK's website (not the video) and at least one cookbook where the brie paired with a mango-peach chutney so what you're seeing in the thumbnail is that chutney.
Why yes, this recipe segment did end rather abruptly. The last 30 seconds: Dan: Yeah, and the puff pastry did its thing... Julia: Mm-hmm D: Puffed gorgeously in there. That egg wash on the outside, it's the perfect wrap for that warmed brie. J: Thank you for showing me how to make this, Dan! D: You're welcome! J: So there you have it. If you want to make the perfect baked brie, start by wrapping a wheel of brie in puff pastry leaving a little opening in the top. Bake it at 425°F for about 20 minutes and spoon some jam into that opening while it cools. From America's Test Kitchen, a deliciously simple recipe for Baked Brie en Croûte. J: I can't wait to try some other jams! D: Right? J: That'd be fun. D: Some homemade ones! J: Yeah!
Wait, melted cheese is good?! Knock me over with a feather! Anyway, I think they cheated a bit. This is supposed to be for HOME COOKS, so why are they rolling it out on the fancy marble board (cool and dense). Do it on the wooden board that most people have!
?? While there are special boards and mats available for kneading bread or rolling out pie dough, Dan isn’t using one . That's just their countertop. The wooden board you see is used to cover their gas cooktop while not in use. *That* is rather customized or even maybe a bit “fancy”. 🤔🤷🏻♂
@@charlieharris3240 "That's just their countertop" is irrelevant. They CHOSE that EXPENSIVE marble countertop for its properties. If you look at other videos throughout the test kitchen you'll see they mostly have some sort of basic composite countertop. Many commercial kitchens use the easy to clean stainless steel work surfaces. In any event, most of their viewers do not have thick marble countertops that are ideal for working with pastry (cool, smooth,and non-porous).
Are you buying your brie at the gas station? It's not supposed to be like that: try a different brand, or store, ESPECIALLY if it's "gourmet". Or, just make ricotta, strain a little, and use that? Or just use mayonnaise.
Fig preserves. You are welcome.
YES! Brie split in half with fig jam/preserves in between with chopped pecans or walnuts. It's FABULOUS 🤤
@peijichan2589 Before putting it into the puff pastry?
I agree so delicious
FROG jam. (Fig, Raspberry, Orange, Ginger) Bubbly wine or a festive Mule as a pairing.
@@kariking6636Is this a brand of jam or something you make?
The first restaurant I worked at would sprinkle brown sugar and pecans over the cheese before wrapping in puff pastry
Thanks!!!! That sounds AMAZING
Long ago I worked in a French restaurant that would serve baked brie occasionally and we did it with either apples or pears and I think walnuts but maybe pecans .
Where was that?
Yes! That's the best!!!!!
Well, I've been doing it wrong my whole life. Glad to finally know how to make a proper baked brie. It came out perfect and my family loved it as the Christmas appetizer.
I have made this recipe for years except that I also add toasted nuts with the preserves and I completely close the top.

OMG...I love baked brie. That's pretty much the only way I enjoy it.

I prefer a savory baked brie. Mushrooms, shallots, white wine, sautéed ahead of time. Though I do love apricot preserves. I might have to try this.
Baked Brie is so delicious. Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks. ❤️

I made puff pastry Brie bite with a four berry preserve for Christmas last year and they were delicious
Diced yellow peppers sauteed with garlic and olive oil
I love Brie in any form!❤
That is genius! My brie always leaks out! 😨 I'm doing this from now on! Oh, & topping that lovely jam with toasted nuts 😊 Thank you for this idea! Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄
Great with roasted garlic and honey too!
We use huckleberries on our baked brie.
I love huckleberry!
And it CAN'T be more American!😁
I want to try the dry fruit mix I steeped in brandy.
Happy holidays 💫💫💫😊
Sprinkle toasted slivered almonds on top!
Yummy!!
Fill with cranberry sauce
or cranberry apple chutney
Happy Thanksgiving
Beautiful sharing ❤❤❤
I always cut the top of the rind and sometimes I'll even take off as much rind as i can on the sides and bottom. Love brie... can't stand the rind.
Me too, I find it very bitter
Looks yummy.
Whole Foods has a delicious puff pastry that is made with butter! I always keep a box of it in my freezer.
I'd never heard of this -- and I've lived in France!!
You must try it! It's so delicious with toasted nuts sprinkled over the jam!😍!
@chrissypena-leyendecker5263 Thanks, I prefer my French cheese as is.

Brie en Croûte JSYK. 😎
Vintage recipe.
Mmmmm. Gonna make this!
Jalapeno jelly or hatch chili marmalade for me! I dont get in the sweet jam so much
Yummy my niece makes this for Christmas!
I am happy I bought your book! Page 1191 marked.
Oh I don’t often use it but I wonder how caviar would taste and they’re probably wonderful
2:04 “I should call her”
What kind/brand if dough? Philo? What brand?
Use honey!
So it's just a cheese huge danish
I made Mexican chicken chili for dinner and it was delicious!
At first, I thiought this was about baked beans.
Looks like what Costco has for sale, ready to bake, for $15 I believe. The Costco version has some crushed walnuts in the preserve too
Costco brie is the best.
Eww; I’m allergic to nuts. I’ll stick with this one.
@@QueenOfTheNorth65 Jeez, no need to say "eww" to what someone else enjoys just because you are the one who's allergic
Impress your guests!
What is the covering of the brie? I don't like how that tastes.
It’s the edible “rind”. You can cut it off if you don’t like it. But, if you give it a chance, keep eating it, the taste grows on you and adds a lovely complexity. The Brie will be bland without it.
I don't like it either and I cut it off the first time I baked Brie - a messy disaster! 😆
I just scrape off the white-ish stuff on the covering. When it's baked, you don't really notice the rind, but the excess white stuff has to go.😅
Pop in freezer for a little bit, then peel off layer with a vegetable peeler. Works pretty good.
This looks so good I'm a sweetooth. I clicked on link in the description but i can't even view the recipe it says you have to sign up why. I just wanna view it
I don't sign up, either. My choice.
I was waiting to see how they made the apple topping from the picture. 🤔😕
It's a mango-peach chutney.
@charlieharris3240 ah ok, I guess I missed something in the recipe. I only saw apricot topping.
@@Jaxthewonderhusky In the video, they topped the baked brie with apricot preserves. But the thumbnail image is from ATK's website (not the video) and at least one cookbook where the brie paired with a mango-peach chutney so what you're seeing in the thumbnail is that chutney.
@charlieharris3240 thanks, that makes sense now.
smellier the brie the better
Don't eat it unless it smells like an open sewer, lol

Too bad that there is now a brie recall.
That looks more like a Camembert than like Brie. Other than the scent, Brie and Camembert are different in size. It could also be a Coulommiers.
🙏🏼✝️❤️

"Just the tip". Julia is such a naughty girl, almost as naughty as that baked brie.
You're projecting
Why not cut off the mold first?
'Cause it's edible and has minimal to no effect on the flavor
@@sunblock8717 I guess my palette is more sensitive than yours. There's nothing minimal about the rind's flavor or texture.
Are you buying your brie at the gas station? It's not supposed to be like that: try a different brand, or store, ESPECIALLY if it's "gourmet".
Or, just make ricotta, strain a little, and use that? Or just use mayonnaise.
@@kevinangus4848 Well we've established you have no taste. Brie rinds vary wildly. Delice is wonderful. Presidente is not. Go troll elsewhere.
Recipe says to freeze the Brie before baking yet video says to refrigerate and NOT freeze?
Refrigerate if you’re NOT making it right away.
They just want it cold, not frozen. They put it in the freezer just to make it cold quickly.
Freezing for 20 min if you're baking it now, Refrigerate if you're baking it later.😊
Why does Brie Cheese so often smell (reek) and taste (nasty) of Ammonia? It’s a huge turn off
The ammonia taste means it's gone bad.
It should taste like butter. You had some cheese that went bad.
Lost me at apricots. I make it with berries and nuts inclosed on top of the brie. People love it. 🙂
