Almond-Crusted Brie with Sugar-Free Berry Sauce is a delightful appetizer that combines creamy Brie cheese with a crunchy almond crust and a sweet berry glaze, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces of Brie cheese
- 1 cup of chopped almonds
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon of milk
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup of assorted berries (blackberries, cranberries, cherries)
- 2 tablespoons of stevia or your choice of sugar alternative
- 1 tablespoon of lime juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the egg and milk together until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the chopped almonds with onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Immerse the Brie cheese in the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Roll the Brie in the almond mixture, pressing down lightly to ensure an even coating.
- Place the Brie on the lined baking tray.
- Bake the Brie for 15-20 minutes, or until it becomes soft and the almond crust turns a lovely golden hue.
- While the cheese is baking, create the berry glaze by combining the assorted berries, stevia, and lime juice in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- After the Brie has finished baking, allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving. Pour the no-sugar berry glaze over the warm Brie and enjoy.
Notes
- For a sweeter glaze, adjust the stevia to your liking.
- You can swap the assorted berries for your personal favorites or use a no-sugar fruit spread for a quick alternative.
- Incorporate fresh herbs like thyme or dill into the almond coating for added flavor.
