brie cheese-
Even though I love baking with puff pastry sheets and use them for appetizers and all kinds of recipes for dessert, fillo (phyllo) dough is just as wonderful to work with. The thin, unleavened dough is used to make pastries such as baklava and many other savory dishes in Middle Eastern cuisines.
Layers of phyllo sheets are brushed with butter and then stuffed with brie cheese. Once baked, the dough becomes buttery, flaky, and crunchy, and is such a perfect treat with the melted brie. I love that the prep time for this fillo dough with brie cheese is 10 minutes. Winner!
how to make fillo with brie cheese appetizer-
- Be sure the fillo dough is completely thawed before unrolling it.
- I like removing the curd from the brie by skimming it with a serrated knife. If you don’t mind it, skip this part.
- Cube the brie and spread the cubes for even baking so the brie melts.
- To reheat, cover the baking dish with foil and bake until warm.
- Grated baby Swiss or provolone may be added to the brie if desired.
appetizer platter with baked brie phyllo-
This baked fillo and brie make for the perfect cheese platter. You don’t need any additional cheese since you already have the brie. However, you can add different sides around the brie on the platter. You can add savory sides on one side of the platter and sweet sides on the other and place the brie in the center once baked. When serving, I like to use THIS set. It makes for a cute setup.
Try adding these ingredients to serve with baked brie-
- Fruit- grapes, raspberries, or tangerines.
- Jelly- any jelly would work; I love pepper jelly most.
- Crackers- different types of crackers.
- Meat- Dried salami or prosciutto is great.
- Dried fruit- apricots, prunes, and figs are my favorites, but you can add whatever you like.
- Nuts- your favorite nuts placed in different small bowls.
This has to be one of my ultimate favorite ways to bake brie cheese. Something about the combination of the crispy fillo dough with the melted brie just hits the spot.
