Recipe 1: Air Fried Mummified Brie

Preparation time: 10 mins
Cooking time:  10 mins
Serves 12

Make it with: Sunbeam’s DiamondForce 3-in-1 Digital Air Fryer – Dark Blue (AFP4500DF)

Sunbeam’s 3-in-1 DiamondForce Digital Air Fryer features air fryer, proof & bake and dehydrate functions to let you carry out a range of tasks from the one appliance. Featuring a 5L cooking capacity, this air fryer will easily fit 1 or even 2 of the pastry-covered brie cheeses in its DiamondForce™ coated cooking basket, ensuring simple non-stick cooking and effortless cleaning, every time.

Ingredients

• ½ sheet frozen puff pastry, partially thawed
• 250g wheel of brie, cold from the fridge
• Pitted dates, dried apricots, grapes, carrot sticks, blueberries, crackers, mandarins and parsley sprigs, to serve
• 2 blueberries, for eyes

Method

1. Slice pastry into 1cm thick strips. Wrap strips around the brie, overlapping, to represent a mummy’s bandage.
2. Place brie in the basket of the Sunbeam 3-in-1 DiamondForce Digital Air Fryer. Set temperature to 200°C and time to 10 minutes, cooking until pastry is golden.
3. Meanwhile, arrange pitted dates, dried apricots, grapes, carrot sticks, blueberries, crackers and mandarins on a serving platter or board. Add a sprig of parsley to the centre of each mandarin as a stem.
4. Place hot brie on the platter, decorate with two blueberries as eyes, and serve immediately.

TIP: We used a spider-shaped bowl on top of our platter for an added touch of ‘spooky’, and to contain the gooey melted brie, once you cut it open.
