Brie Pancake Recipes

BRIE-STUFFED PANCAKES WITH CRISPY BACON

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high and grill the bacon for 5 mins until crisp, turning halfway through. Set aside and keep warm. Tip the flour, baking powder, sugar and a large pinch of salt into a large bowl, then gradually whisk in the eggs and milk until you have a smooth, thick batter.
• Heat a splash of the oil and small knob of the butter in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat until sizzling. Spoon in 1 tbsp of the batter and spread out to a rough 10cm circle with the back of the spoon. Top with a few slices of the brie, a pinch of the grated cheddar, and 1½ tbsp more of the pancake batter - the batter should cover all the cheese. Don't worry if the batter starts to spread - you can shape it by pushing the cheese back toward the centre using a spatula. Cook for 2-3 mins until bubbles start to form on the surface, then carefully flip and cook for 2 mins more. Keep warm while repeating the process with the rest of the oil, butter, batter and cheese. Serve topped with some salted butter and the crispy bacon.

BAKED BRIE IN PUFF PASTRY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degree C). Lightly grease a 9 inch pie pan.
• Slice the wheel of Brie in half, horizontally, so that the halves are two, flatter wheels of Brie. Lay the puff pastry in the pie pan. Place half of the Brie (rind-side down) onto the pastry dough. Sprinkle almonds evenly over the top. Place the other half of the Brie (rind-side up) over the almonds. Bundle the pastry dough around the Brie.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

BRIE PANCAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375F degrees.
• Mix the eggs, milk, flour, Brie, and salt in a food processor or blender for approximately 10 seconds. Put the butter in a 10-inch ovenproof omelet pan and place it in the hot oven. Remove it from the oven when the pan is very hot and the butter is bubbling and just beginning to brown.
• Quickly pour the egg mixture into the pan and return it to the oven immediately. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. The sides of the pancake will rise above the pan and the pancake will be solid, crisp, and lightly browned.
• Serve immediately, garnished with minced chives and sprinkled with cayenne.
• To make a sweet version, omit the chives and cayenne. Instead, serve the pancake with fresh fruit, jam, or a fruit puree.
