Welcome and Enjoy.

This blog will document my trials and tribulations as a young, single guy on a mission to eat well on his own (without employing the skill of trained chefs at fancy restaurants). That means - I will be cooking, making a mess, and drinking a lot of wine. With many obstacles in my way, such as lack of time, tight budget, and inexperience, I plan to do my best and learn along the way.

I recommend you read "The Premise" and "The Basic Setup" before you begin. I also encourage you to email me with thoughts, questions, praise, or hate mail.

Best,
Mickey

Baked Cranberry Chipotle Brie - Good For the Holidays!

Ingredients:

1 Round Brie
Frozen premade puff pastry / filo dough - rectangular sheets
Fischer & Weisser Cranberry Chipotle Sauce
2 Tbsp Milk







Recipe:

1. Preheat oven to 400F
2. Scrape the rind off the top of the brie.




3. Set brie on the sheet of filo dough on a baking sheet, scraped side up



4. Liberally apply the cranberry chipotle sauce to the top of the brie

5. Start to wrape up the brie (however you please) and then lightly brush or spoon the milk on the filo dough (increases flakiness and improves texture while baking)




6. Finish bundling the brie... we created a nice square look - rather than round.



 7. Place the brie in the oven and let it cook - watch it carefully. It takes about 25 minutes or so to bake thoroughly. The edges should brown and the filo dough should look flakey.



8. Once done, remove from baking sheet and let it cool (but not too much)




9. Serve on a plate with grapes and something to spread the brie on like a cracker or toasted baguette

Enjoy.
