Notes

WRAPPING THE BRIE

The key to a successful prosciutto wrapped baked brie is the wrapping technique. Begin layering the prosciutto slices around the brie, overlapping them slightly to create a seamless, even wrap.

It's important to use high-quality, thinly sliced prosciutto for this step, as the delicate meat will adhere to the brie more easily and create a beautiful presentation.

TIPS

Follow these tips to ensure that your Prosciutto Wrapped Baked Brie turns out perfectly every time:
  • Use high-quality ingredients: Opt for a good-quality brie cheese and prosciutto to elevate the flavors of this dish.
  • Adjust baking time: Keep an eye on the brie while it’s baking to prevent it from melting too much or becoming too firm.
  • Experiment with toppings: Feel free to customize your baked brie with different toppings like nuts, herbs, or spreads to suit your taste preferences.

MAKE-AHEAD INSTRUCTIONS

You can prepare Prosciutto Wrapped Baked Brie ahead of time for easy entertaining:
  • Assembly: Wrap the brie in prosciutto, then cover and refrigerate until ready to bake.
  • Baking: When you’re ready to serve, simply pop the prepped brie in the oven and bake according to the instructions.

VARIATIONS

Get creative with your Prosciutto Wrapped Baked Brie by trying out these delicious variations:
  • Fig and Walnut: Add a layer of fig jam and chopped walnuts before wrapping the brie in prosciutto for a sweet and nutty twist.
  • Truffle Honey: Drizzle truffle honey over the baked brie for a luxurious flavor profile that will impress your guests.
  • Spicy Jalapeño: Slice fresh jalapeños and place them on top of the brie before wrapping it in prosciutto for a spicy kick that packs a punch.
