Baked Brie, Apples, Prosciutto & Honey

Baked Brie, Apples, Prosciutto & Honey. Just typing that out makes me feel like I've won some sort of culinary lottery where the prize is actually worth eating.

Now, let me set the scene for you. Picture this: warm, gooey Brie cheese that's just been lovingly embraced by the heat of your oven, sitting atop a pita-like it's the throne it rightfully deserves. But wait, there's more. This isn't just a cheese-on-bread situation. Oh no. We're throwing crispy apples into the mix because we're fancy and we care about our fruit intake. Then, because we're also about that savory life, we add prosciutto - the bacon's sophisticated cousin twice removed. A sprinkle of basil because we're classy, and a generous drizzle of honey for that sweet kiss goodbye. And just for kicks, a dash of garlic powder and red pepper flakes, because we like to live dangerously.

Here's the kicker - it only takes about 10 minutes to make. That's less time than it takes to argue with yourself about whether you should go to the gym or not. Drizzle a little olive oil on that pita, sprinkle some salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes like you're some kind of kitchen wizard. Slap on chunks of Brie - and don't be stingy. We're looking for a cheese-to-pita ratio that says, "I believe in miracles." Bake that masterpiece until it's melted to your liking because you're the boss of applesauce. Then, with the grace of a spoon (because knives are just too aggressive for Brie), flatten that cheese like you're smoothing out the wrinkles on your favorite shirt. Crown it with sliced apples, prosciutto, and basil. Finish it off with a drizzle of honey that says, "I'm sweet, but I can also be savory." And there you have it, a dish that's so good, it'll make you want to write a love letter to yourself for making it. Enjoy, you culinary genius, you.

Baked Brie, Apples, Prosciutto & Honey

This is sweet n’ savory heaven right here. Cut this up into bite sized pieces and it makes for a perfect appetizer. My previous post/meal with goat cheese, basil and prosciutto was so yummy, I wanted to try a different variation/combo, and this is amazing. You can’t go wrong making this and only takes about 10 minutes.It’s warm melted Brie on top a pita, with crispy sliced apples, prosciutto, basil, honey.

Prep time: 5 MinCook time: 5 MinTotal time: 10 Min

Ingredients

• Pita
• Brie cheese
• 1-2 strips of Prosciutto
• 1 Apple
• Basil
• Honey
• Garlic powder
• Red pepper flakes

Instructions

1. Drizzle a little olive oil on the pita and sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, red pepper flakes.
2. Add small chunks of Brie to cover the center of pita, leaving about an inch from the edges without cheese (as it melts it’ll spread).
3. Bake at 400 for about 5 minutes or until melted to your liking.
4. Remove from oven. I used a spoon to flatted the cheese a bit (versus a knife, I feel that doesn’t work with this cheese texture).
5. Add sliced apples, prosciutto and basil.
6. Sprinkle with parsley, a little salt and drizzle a decent amount of honey all over. Enjoy!
