Heavenly Brie Basket Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Unwrap the wheel of Brie, and crescent rolls.
• Unroll the crescent roll dough, and wrap around the Brie. Press seams together to seal in the cheese. Place in a 9x9 inch baking dish. Sprinkle pecan halves over the top, and drizzle honey over the whole thing.
• Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown and cheese is soft. Serve with apple slices or cornbread crackers.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut a large circle into the bread about 1 inch from the edge and several inches deep. Remove the bread filling and reserve, leaving a basket crust. Fill the basket with the brie, packing it in tightly. Replace bread cover and cover the basket completely with aluminum foil. Bake on middle rack until the cheese is melted through, about 1 hour. 10 minutes before the bread is removed, melt the butter in a chef pan or large skillet over medium high heat. Add the onions, brown sugar, and white vinegar and sauté until the liquid evaporates and the onions start to become crispy. Slice the pears thinly just before serving to prevent browning. Cut the basket into quarters or thirds and serve with pears and caramelized onions. Each bite should be layered with the crusty basket, cheese, pears and onions. Serve with a semi-sweet Riesling and a crisp green salad. Pure heaven!
