A recipe for Glazed Almond Brie. Follow the simple recipe instructions for Glazed Almond Brie shared by other home cooking experts.
Ingredients
1 3/4 oz. Wheel imported Brie cheese - well chilled2 Tbs. Confectioners' sugar
1/2 c. Sliced unblanched almonds
Red and green seedless grapes - in clusters, for garnish
Directions
WITH A SMALL, flexible knife, cut away rind from top of chilled cheese. Be careful not to remove or split the rind on the sides. It will form a wall for the melted cheese. Sift 1 Tbs. of confectioners' sugar evenly over the surface and arrange almonds on top, pressing gently into place. The cheese can be prepared to this point as many as 2 days in advance. Cover loosely with foil and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before heating, place rack 6 inches from heat source and preheat the broiler. Line large baking sheet with aluminum foil, place cheese on it and sift 1 Tbs. of confectioners' sugar over nuts. Broil cheese until top is evenly browned--about 1 to 2 minutes. Rotate cheese, if necessary, for even browning. Watch carefully so it does not burn. Use foil to lift cheese and transfer it to serving platter. Tear foil and gently remove it. Garnish with clusters of grapes. Volume I of Abby Mandel's cookbook, Fast and Flavorful (Cuisinart's Cooking Club Inc. 1985).
