Equipment

  • - Parchment Paper: Essential for lining baking sheets, ensuring the Brie doesn't stick and mushrooms don't burn during baking.

  • - Mandoline Slicer: For precise slicing of vegetables, especially useful if you're making a garnish with mushrooms or shallots.

  • - Chef Knife Set: A versatile tool for various cutting tasks involved in preparing ingredients like Brie and vegetables.

  • - Oven Mitts: To safely handle hot bakeware without risk of burns when placing or removing dishes from the oven.

  • - Digital Kitchen Scale: Ensuring accurate measurement of ingredients, which is crucial for recipe success.

  • - Measuring Spoons and Cups Set: For accurately measuring liquid and dry ingredients needed in the recipe.

  • - Amazon Basics Silicone Baking Mat: An alternative to parchment paper for baking that offers easy release properties and heat resistance.

  • - Microplane Grater: Ideal for grating cheese, which could be used if you want a more intense Brie flavor in the dish.

  • - Kitchen Timer: To keep track of baking times accurately without worrying about under or over-baking the brie and accompanying elements.

  • 2/3 cup dry red wine

  • 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter

  • 6 ounces crimini (baby bella) mushrooms, halved or quartered if large

Instruction 1

Rinse dried porcini to remove any grit. Place porcini and wine in small saucepan. Bring to simmer over low heat; remove from heat. Let soak until soft, about 20 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer porcini to work surface and coarsely chop. Line strainer with damp paper towel; strain wine into small bowl and reserve.

Remove Brie from box, discarding lid and paper. Using sharp knife, cut top rind from Brie; discard. Return Brie to box. (Alternatively, stack two 12-inch rounds of foil and fold up around bottom and sides of Brie, crimping foil at edges, leaving top exposed.) Mound mushroom mixture atop Brie. DO AHEAD: Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before continuing.
