I don’t have a video for this recipe.
If I had a photo, I would most certainly use it. That is... unless the photo I have sucks. For now, you'll just have to picture a big heaping helping of
Baked Brie with Shiitakes

Baked Brie with Shiitakes

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 6 Shitake mushrooms, stems removed & thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • Pinch Kosher salt and pepper to taste
  • Pinch garlic powder
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, removed from freezer about 30 minutes before using
  • Flour
  • One 8 ounce wheel of brie, with top rind removed
  • 1 tablespoon grainy mustard
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°
  2. Put non-stick pan on high/medium heat, add oil, butter and mushrooms - cook about 5 minutes until nicely softened, add thyme, salt, pepper and garlic powder - stir well to combine then remove from heat and set aside
  3. Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface, roll out pastry to make it a little thinner
  4. Place cooked mushrooms in the center of the pastry - spread out to approximately the same diameter as the cheese
  5. Spoon mustard on top of brie, then place mustard-side down onto the mushrooms
  6. Fold the pastry up over the cheese to cover and turn over - trim the excess - and place onto a parchment lined baking sheet and press down to seal. Reserve the pastry scraps for decoration (if you want)
  7. Beat the egg and milk to combine in a small bowl with a fork or whisk. Place seam-side down onto a lined (parchment paper) baking sheet. Decorate with the pastry scraps, if desired - brush with the egg wash
  8. Bake for 25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown - serve with thinly sliced baguettes or crackers.
