3 Minute Melty Festive Brie (Baked Brie) Recipe

I’m formally in vacation mode! I by no means know precisely when it would hit me, however it at all times finally does.

So as a result of I’m in vacation mode, right this moment I’m sharing one thing that’s ridiculously quick and simple. Fact be informed, I did make and take a number of pictures of some different issues – nuts, mulled wine – however I simply wasn’t 1000% pleased with the recipes. I can do higher. So subsequent yr. I’ll share them subsequent yr.

For this yr, you’ll simply need to make do with this – my 3 Minute Melty Festive Brie. Aka an excellent speedy Baked Brie appetizer.

You don’t really want a recipe for this. All I do is pop a brie or camembert within the microwave for 1 minute 15 seconds on excessive, or till it’s melted. It’s very easy to inform – simply prod it within the centre and it’ll really feel actually comfortable and….er….nicely, it would really feel melted. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Then high it with roughly chopped pecans, pomegranate seeds and pour over maple syrup. And that’s it!

Hmm. Perhaps it’s not even 3 minutes. It is likely to be 2 minutes 30 seconds. I didn’t issue within the time it takes to unwrap the brie / open the packet of pecans (get ’em crushed should you critically need to save time) / wack the pomegranate seeds out / pull the bottle of maple syrup out of the cabinet. However you get the thought. The precise development time of the brie is unquestionably lower than 3 minutes. 🙌🏼

Oh! Fast tip: That is the best way to get pomegranate seeds out – simply reduce in half, then over a bowl, wack the pomegranates with a wood spoon and the seeds will come flying out into the bowl. Each time I do that, I get a ridiculous infantile sense of satisfaction / need to giggle. 😉

I topped this brie with pecans, pomegranate seeds and maple syrup. I actually do suppose that may be a stellar mixture – the creamy savoury brie, the juicy recent pops of pomegranate, the nice and cozy nuttiness of pecans and woody sweetness of maple syrup – however you may completely tailor it to your individual style or no matter you may have. My components is to make use of one thing nutty for texture, one thing syrupy for sweetness and a few form of fruit for freshness / juiciness.

So there you may have it! That is one in every of my biggest secret weapon starters revealed. It appears unbelievable, you don’t want to make use of an costly brie/camembert for this (in actual fact, I encourage you to not), it’s adaptable to your style, it takes minutes to make, and it makes you appear like a rockstar! – Johnsat x

PS I do not know what to name this. It actually is basically a baked brie appetizer besides it’s not baked. However actually, I guess nobody would ever know whether or not this was baked or microwaved.
