I want to do inappropriate things to these Baked Brie Bites with Raspberry Sauce.
I know, I know that sounds rather naughty, and to be honest I almost mean it that way.
I want to shove as many in my face as fast as my mouth can handle them.
I want to eat them until my stomach moans with pleasure.
I want to gorge myself on their rich, oozing, cheesy goodness.
I want to roll around in their flaky and doughy pastry layers.
I want to ravish them and lick the plate clean.
I want to suck their sweet raspberry sauce from my fingertips.
I want to breathe in their scent and soak in their aroma.
I want to savor their succulent goodness for as long as possible.
I’d also like my doctor to put mad monkey loving back on the menu.
Until that time though, these Baked Brie Bites with Raspberry Sauce are a pretty suitable substitute.
While I’d rather skip the whole recipe explanation and leave you in a pool of sexual tension, I have to utter a few quick words.
These beautiful and breathy bites are only a handful of ingredients and require the teeniest tiniest amount of work. They’re sweet coupled with savory. They’re light, crispy and flaky on the outside and packed with warm oozing cheese and succulent raspberry sauce on the inside.
Simply put, they will leave you weak in the knees and dizzy with desire.
- 2 sheets of Puff Pastry, cut into sections*
- 7 ounces Brie, top rind removed and cut into small wedges
- 1/4 cup seedless Raspberry Jam
- 1/2 tsp. fresh Rosemary, diced
- Pinch of Salt
- Raspberries
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Remove puff pastry from the freezer to defrost.This should only take a few minutes. You want the pastry sheets malleable, but not overtly sticky.
- While the pastry is defrosting, make your raspberry sauce. In a small bowl or cup, whisk together the raspberry jam, the rosemary and the salt until smooth. For the Brie, remove the rind from the top only and cut into bite size wedges.
- Lightly dust a cookie sheet with flour and assemble your bites on same.
- Cut the puff pastry sheets into large squares, big enough to completely cover the Brie wedges.* I recommend playing with one first before cutting and assembling the rest.
- To assemble, place the brie wedge, rind side down, rind free side up, on the puff pastry square. Top with a spoonful of the raspberry mixture and then wrap the rest of the puff pastry around the wedge of brie and seal off all seams by pressing puff pastry firmly together.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes until edges start to lightly brown.
- Remove from oven, let cool for just a minute.
- Top with fresh raspberries and serve warm.

Welllll you sure know how to sell a recipe don’t you? You really should be hired.
I’m glad you’ve been able to find some form of substitute for the monkey love. Hope your hubby is ok with this new relationship.
These look perfect for my next appy party. Love the addition of Rosemary.

When I get together with one of my friends we always buy a big baked brie and enjoy it together. I love the one with apricot jam.
My husband doesn’t like brie, crazy right? I’d have to enjoy these all by myself. Oh well 😉

Ohhh yes this is my kind of food! Anything involving Brie cheese and I’m sold.
Food that makes me weak in the knees? Other than melty chese, I’d have to say a rich flourless chocolate torte. Mmm…

Amanda @ .running with spoons. says
Oh.my.gaaaaaaawd. So back when I was living at home, my mom used to make crepes on the weekends (sometimes) and stuff them with cream cheese and jam. It was one of my favourite combinations in the world, so I’m just going to go ahead and assume that using fancy cheeses in place of Philly just makes it that much better. And that using crispy pastry dough makes it that much more decadent. Well now I’m all excited…

My mom used to make us crepes too and come to think of it, I can’t even remember the last time I had them. I need to rectify that stat!

Yup these look just as incredible as you make them sound! As for what food makes me feel that way? That’s tough because there are many. Chocolate, yes. Also cookie dough cheesecake and cookie dough ice cream, basically anything cookie dough.

Brie, raspberry and Rosemary – oh yes I can just imagine those flavours blending together so well! You my dear have an amazing palette!
Salmon with crispy skin makes me go weak at the knees… Although I actually did a proper happy dance yesterday when I ate toast and jam! Sounds silly but it’s the first time since finding awesome Gf bread here that I have had it and I forgot how much I adore it!

Dear Meghan’s doctor, please have some compassion!
Sweets this is food porn! In every sense possible 😀
I was smitten by the looks of these at first glance. I have already added brie and puff pastry to my Saturday shopping list. And I am praying for any kind of raspberries. Even the fucking expensive ones will be mine!

Secret: you could make these without the fresh raspberries. All you really need is the jam. The fresh ones are more for looks than anything.

Miss Polkadot says
Mad monkey lovin’ or this – it was hard to tell which one was on your mind writing those descriptive opening lines ;). I can’t blame you for loosing your mind a little, though …
I’m pretty sure these would make me weak in my knees. As would what is called “Ofenkäse” over here: a brie-/camembert-type cheese in a little wooden basket baked in the oven until all melty and then spooned up with vegetables. Especially on a date … drifting off. Also, succulent is an amazing adjective. Hmm.

Mmm, I think I need to try this “Ofenkäse”. It’s sounds amazing; succulent even.

What the hell are you trying to do to me. Do you think I could make these? Little old me? Without a fire? Firemen would be okay normally, like over burnt spaghetti or something, but not this. I NEED THESE ALL OVER MY BODY. The firemen can wait.

I think you could totally make these without burning down the house, although if you’re trying to lure firemen to your home, it could work too. Either way, things are bound to get hot and steamy.

You should give them a try. They’re really simple to make and only five ingredients. They look and taste much fancier than the effort it requires to make them.
