Indulge in these savory beef-stuffed brioche swirls with herb cheese filling, perfect for comfort food cravings.
Ingredients
- • Brioche dough: 500g (store-bought or homemade)
- • Ground beef: 300g
- • Onion: 1 medium, finely chopped
- • Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
- • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • Mixed herbs (thyme, rosemary, basil): 1 tablespoon, finely chopped
- • Cream cheese: 150g, softened
- • Grated Parmesan cheese: 50g
- • Salt: 1 teaspoon
- • Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Egg: 1, beaten (for egg wash)
- • Sesame seeds: 1 tablespoon (for garnish)
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- 3 Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, approximately 6-7 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, and mixed herbs. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- 4 In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with grated Parmesan cheese. Once the beef mixture has cooled, combine it with the cream cheese mixture.
- 5 Roll out the brioche dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the beef and cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border along the edges.
- 6 Carefully roll the dough from one long side to the other, forming a log. Use a sharp knife to cut the log into 1-inch thick swirls.
- 7 Place the swirls cut side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- 8 Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the swirls are golden brown and cooked through. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • These beef-stuffed brioche swirls are best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven. Pair them with a crisp green salad for a refreshing contrast, or serve alongside a hearty tomato soup for a comforting meal. Consider adding a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs as a garnish to enhance the flavors even further. For a beverage pairing, a chilled glass of red wine or a robust ale complements the richness of the beef and cheese filling beautifully.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover brioche swirls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through. This will help maintain their delightful texture and flavor.
