Ingredients

Brie:

  • 1 Président® Brie Cheese Wheel 8oz
  • 10-12 Prosciutto Slices
  • Grilled Steak Optional

Bacon Jam:

  • 6-8 slices Bacon crumbled
  • 1 cup Diced Red Onions
  • 1 medium Jalapeno sliced
  • 2 tbsp Maple Syrup
  • 1.5 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Neutral Oil
  • Kosher Salt to taste

Instructions

Brie Cheese:

  • Preheat your fire to a medium high heat (about 350F).
  • Break out the Président® Brie Cheese and carefully wrap in prosciutto all over. Slather with a little oil on top.
  • Add to the grill to slowly cook for 10-15 minutes until the prosciutto is crispy and the cheese is gooey in the middle.
  • Pull off to cool for 2-3 minutes, then serve with crusty bread and grilled steak. Enjoy!

Bacon Jam:

  • Note: Use a premade bacon jam to speed things up!
  • Preheat your grill to medium high heat (about 350F) for direct cooking. Add a cast iron skillet to the grill 2 minutes before cooking.
  • Add your bacon to the skillet and cook to your desired crispiness. Pull off and then crumble into small bits.
  • Then add oil in the skillet and add your thinly sliced onions and jalapenos. Season the onions with salt and pepper and begin cooking on a medium heat until they are caramelized. This should take about 4-6 minutes to achieve.
  • Add brown sugar half way through to deepen the color. When the onions are close to done, add in the maple syrup and crumbled bacon. Roll together and pull off.

Notes

Grilling Your Steak 
you're serving this prosciutto-wrapped brie with grilled steak, here are a few tips to help you make the most of your meal. 
  • Invest in a good steak. The right cut, such as a good filet mignon, ribeye steak, or New York Strip Steak can make all the difference from an OK meal to an unforgettable one.  
  • Bring your raw steak to room temperature before grilling. Taking this step ensures even cooking throughout the center of the steak and also gets you a better crust.
  • Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. You've invested in a tasty cut, and having this precision instrument will keep you from overcooking it.
  • When you're done cooking, let the steak rest before you cut it. And make sure you cut against the grain for the most tender, juicy bites.
