Brie Stuffed Baked Artichokes Recipes

BRIE-STUFFED BAKED ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Heat large pot of salted water to boiling. Cut off and discard top one-third of artichokes. Place artichokes in boiling water; boil 10 minutes, then drain upside down in colander.
• Grease or spray 8- or 9-inch pie plate; place artichokes upright in pie plate. If needed, trim ends of artichokes so they sit flat in pie plate.
• In 1-quart saucepan, heat Brie and cream over low heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth and creamy. Turn off heat and, while still stirring, add egg yolk and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese. Season with pepper.
• Set oven control to low broil, and position rack close to bottom of oven.
• Fill artichokes with cheese sauce. Sauce should cover tops and fill into artichoke leaves.
• In medium bowl, mix remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, the bread crumbs, butter and thyme. Sprinkle over tops of artichokes.
• Broil 3 to 5 minutes, watching carefully, until golden.

SPINACH ARTICHOKE BAKED BRIE

Steps:

• Put the spinach in a clean kitchen towel over a bowl or the sink and twist to squeeze out all the moisture. Coarsely chop.
• Put the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream and garlic in a large bowl; mix vigorously until combined and smooth. (If you prefer, you can use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.) Add the spinach to the cream cheese mixture, breaking it up as you add it. Add the artichokes, mozzarella and Parmesan, mixing to combine. Season with salt and pepper, then refrigerate until ready to use.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk the egg with a splash of water in a small bowl. Roll out the puff pastry to a 13-by-12-inch wide rectangle. Cut a 1-inch wide strip of dough off the shorter end to create a 12-by-12-inch square, reserving the strip for decorating. Transfer the square to the prepared baking sheet. Place the wheel of brie in the center of the dough. Top with the chilled spinach-artichoke mixture. Fold the puff pastry up and over the brie, brushing the edges with a little egg wash and pinching to seal. Form the reserved strip of dough into a bow. Brush a little egg wash on the center of the pastry and gently press the bow on top to secure. Brush the bow and the entire exterior of the pastry with the egg wash, then return it to the refrigerator to chill, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Bake until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through, about 40 minutes. Let sit for 15 minutes, then serve warm with crackers and/or crostini.

BRIE STUFFED ARTICHOKE

Steps:

• Cut off the top and bottom of the artichoke. Cook it in boiling water for 10-15 minutes until the bottom is easy to pierce with a fork. Run artichoke under cold water to stop the cooking process. When cool enough to handle, cut the inner choke away from the heart. Cut the brie into 1/2" chunks. Place the brie into the artichoke and throughout the leaves. Place on a cookie sheet and bake at 350° until the brie is melted (approximately 10 minutes).
• To make the mustard sauce, combine shallots and white wine in a saucepan over high heat. Slowly add the butter and remove from heat. Then add mustard, white wine vinegar, salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice to the mixture. Drizzle mixture over artichoke and serve.
