Step 4: Assemble the Dish
Let’s get assembling! Place the prepared witlof heads in a baking dish. Drizzle them with melted butter, and season with salt, pepper, and mustard if you’re using it. Then, layer the slices of brie on top of each witlof head, followed by the crispy bacon. This layering creates a beautiful and tasty dish!
Step 5: Bake the Witlof
Finally, pop the baking dish into your preheated oven. Bake for about 25-30 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the witlof is tender and the brie is melted and bubbly. The aroma will fill your kitchen, making it hard to resist! Serve warm and enjoy every bite of this comforting meal.
Tips for Success
- Always preheat your oven for even cooking.
- For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like thyme or rosemary.
- Don’t rush the bacon; crispy is key for texture.
- Experiment with different cheeses if brie isn’t your favorite.
- Let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving; it helps the flavors meld.
Equipment Needed
- Baking dish: A glass or ceramic dish works well. If you don’t have one, a cast-iron skillet is a great alternative.
- Skillet: For cooking the bacon, any non-stick skillet will do.
- Knife and cutting board: Essential for prepping the witlof and bacon.
- Measuring spoons: Handy for measuring out butter and mustard.
Variations
- Vegetarian Option: Omit the bacon and replace it with sautéed mushrooms or spinach for a hearty twist.
- Herb-Infused: Add fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or parsley to the melted butter for an aromatic boost.
- Cheese Swap: Try using goat cheese or feta for a tangy flavor that pairs beautifully with witlof.
- Spicy Kick: Sprinkle some red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce to the melted butter for a spicy version.
- Nutty Crunch: Top with toasted walnuts or pecans before serving for an added crunch and flavor contrast.
