Description
A festive and savory appetizer featuring roasted carrot rounds stuffed with creamy Brie and drizzled with spicy-sweet hot honey, arranged to resemble adorable snowmen.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch thick rounds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 ounces Brie cheese, rind removed and cut into small cubes
- 2 tablespoons hot honey (store-bought or homemade)
- Black sesame seeds or peppercorns for eyes and buttons
- Small fresh rosemary sprigs for arms
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss carrot rounds with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
- Let carrots cool slightly. Use a small knife or melon baller to carve out a shallow hole in the center of each carrot round. Stuff each hole with a cube of Brie.
- Arrange 3 stuffed carrot rounds vertically on a serving plate to form a snowman shape, securing with toothpicks if needed. Repeat with remaining carrots.
- Drizzle hot honey over the stuffed carrot snowmen. Use sesame seeds or peppercorns to create eyes and buttons, and insert rosemary sprigs for arms. Serve warm.
