Guava Baked Brie #recipe

I have an old passion for cheese, for the longest time I would say that I love all types of cheese and would not turned away from any. Ok, I no longer say that, I had the “Pleasure” to try a cheese (I can’t remember the name of it) but I know it’s from somewhere in Europe that “Thank you” but no thanks.

But back to the point, I do love most types of cheese, and I’m always open to try different ones of different ways of eating them. Today we are shearing with you a simple recipe inspired by other well known baked brie recipes with fruits.

I had never tried brie with guava until recently, I was in the mood for baked brie and had no dry fruits, but did have a can of Guava shells, so that was it. And the best part is that we really liked it.

Brie and guava baked to perfection is a great way to delight your guest any day of the week

Ready in: 20 minutes (7 Prep + 13 Bake)  |  Serves: 2  |  Complexity: Easy

Ingredients

• 8oz round Brie (I have also used the 2 1/4 lbs round brie)
• 2 tbsp Sliced Almonds
• 1/2 can Guava Shells, about 8.5oz more for a bigger brie
• 1 red apple sliced for platting/serving (Optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 C)
2. Place Brie without removing any of its skin on an oven safe pan or cookie sheet (I used a pie pan)
3. Bake for 5 minutes
4. Meanwhile open guava can, take a 1/4 of it’s content including liquid and blend together.
5. take from 4 to 5 guava shells and cut them as if you are doing a chutney
6. Remove brie from oven, be carful not to tear the skin as the cheese will slide out.
7. add a layer of the guava blended jam, and the chutney over it
8. add some sliced almonds and more of the blended guava.
9. Place Brie back in the oven for 8 minutes

Plate with sliced apples and enjoy with family and friends
