Cranberry-Filled Brie Recipe - Cooking Index
| 1/2 | Butter - softened | |
| 1/4 cup | 23g / 0.8oz | Fresh cranberries |
| 1 teaspoon | 5ml | Orange zest - finely minced |
| 1 teaspoon | 5ml | Sugar - (up to 2) |
| 1 tablespoon | 15ml | Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur |
| 1 | Ripe round brie cheese - (4 ounces), unwrapped | |
| 1 | Dental floss - (24 inches long) | |
| 1/2 cup | 46g / 1.6oz | Sliced toasted almonds - slightly crushed |
| Dried cranberries - for garnish |
Place softened butter in a food processor with the metal blade. Add cranberries, orange zest, sugar and Grand Marnier. Process by pulsing until mixture is smooth.
Place the unwrapped cheese on a work surface. Wrap the dental floss around the side of cheese and pull it through the cheese horizontally, cutting it in half. Place both halves (cut sides up) on the work surface and spread the butter mixture evenly on one half of the cheese. Replace the other half, middle sides together, and press down gently. Spread additional butter on the sides and top of the cheese. Then coat the top and sides with the sliced, toasted nuts, covering the layer of butter. Cover and chill until firm. Garnish with dried cranberries on top. Serve either whole (with a small wedge removed) or cut into thin wedges. Serve with crackers or slices baguettes.
Let sit 30 minutes before serving. Do not heat.
