Ingredients:
-
2 cans pre-made croissant dough
-
4 oz brie or 8 oz brie if you are making the alternate version
-
1 jar Terrapin Ridge Hot Pepper Bacon Jam or Passion Fruit Jalapeno Jam
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
Red pepper flakes, ground cayenne, or chili powder
-
kosher salt
Directions:
-
Prepare the Ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Slice the brie into small, thick rectangles. Roll out the croissant dough and cut into eight triangles. Through my own trial and error, I found that stretching the triangles until long and skinny made a better looking spiral when rolled up.
-
Fill the Dough by placing a piece of brie on the wide end of the triangle. Top with 1 teaspoon of bacon jam. Carefully roll up the dough by slightly crimping the sides as you roll it up so the jam doesn’t spill out the edges. Place on the lined baking sheet and repeat with remaining croissants.
-
If you are making this ahead, you can cover the sheet with plastic wrap and store it in the fridge until ready to bake.
-
Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with red pepper flakes and kosher salt. Bake for 15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
-
Transfer the croissants to a plate and serve immediately. If bringing them to a party, reheat them in a 350F oven for 5-10 minutes.
-
For a different version, without the croissant dough: preheat the oven to 350F. Place an 8oz wheel of brie on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Top with bacon jam and bake for 10 -15 minutes. Transfer to a serving board and serve with apples, crackers, or bread.
