savory mushroom brie en croûte
My husband and I love to entertain. I love Brie, and he loves mushrooms. I tried to create a new recipe that includes both to share with our friends. Everyone loves this recipe, so I wanted to share it.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
This mushroom brie en croute is an impressive appetizer. It has a delicious mixture of sauteed mushrooms and caramelized onions sandwiched between sliced Brie and baked inside flaky puff pastry. Savory and rich, spread the melted Brie on slices of toasted baguette.

How To Make savory mushroom brie en croûte
-
Step 1Heat skillet. Add olive oil and butter.
-
Step 2Add onion and saute until transparent.
-
Step 3Add garlic and mix well. Continue cooking for a couple of minutes.
-
Step 4Add the mushrooms making sure not to crowd the pan while sauteing. Stir frequently so they cook evenly. Add more butter if the mixture is too dry.
-
Step 5Add seasonings, more or less according to your taste, and continue until the mixture is softened and the mushrooms are browned.
-
Step 6Add just enough of Swanson's chicken broth to cover the mixture. Continue until the liquid is reduced and the mixture is thickened and done.
-
Step 7Remove from heat and cool.
-
Step 8Defrost puff pastry just until you can unfold it easily.
-
Step 9Slice a baguette of sourdough bread into thin slices. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
-
Step 10Sprinkle just enough flour on a work surface so the pastry doesn't stick. Roll pastry out, just enough for the Brie to fit in the center and pastry to wrap over it.
-
Step 11Slice the Brie in half horizontally.
-
Step 12Lay half (cut side up) the brie on the pastry.
-
Step 13Place cooled mushroom mixture on top. Place 2nd half, cut side down, of the brie on top.
-
Step 14Cover with pastry, starting with opposite corners and wrap.
-
Step 15Make like a bundle by twisting pieces of pastry or turn it over and decorate the top with pieces of pastry.
-
Step 16Brush top and sides with egg wash. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate 30 minutes before baking to prevent cheese from melting too much; it will still be soft and spreadable.
-
Step 17Bake at 400 for 30 minutes or until the pastry is browned and the cheese is soft.
