(Thai turkey meatballs with savory blueberry jam, strawberry bruschetta, brie and blackberry wontons)
I am planning to make the strawberry bruschetta as an appetizer dish at my mother-in-law’s Thanksgiving brunch on Thursday and wanted to be sure to share these recipes with you before your holiday menus are set in stone since they’re definitely worth a try!

Strawberry Bruschetta and Brie and Blackberry Wontons
- Cook Time: 60 minutes
- Total Time: 1 hour
- Category: side dishes
Description
These two recipes are inspired from the Driscoll’s event I attended at the Epcot Food & Wine Festival. The simplicity of these recipes appealed to me right off the bat and their fabulous flavor made them a hit with everyone at the tasting.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 fresh Driscoll’s blackberries
- 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 6 (3-1/4 x 3-1/4 inch) wonton wrappers
- 1 (8-ounce) brie round
Instructions
- Keep Driscoll’s blackberries in original clamshell in the refrigerator until ready to use. Rinse gently and allow them to dry at room temperature for optimum flavor.
- Spread washed blackberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with a sprinkle of sea salt. Roast in a preheated 400-degree oven for about 30 minutes. (Keep an eye on them. You don’t want them to roast for so long that the juices burn.)
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 6 miniature muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray. Press 1 wonton wrapper gently into each sprayed cup, allowing ends to extend above cups. Spray edges of wonton wrappers with nonstick cooking spray and bake for 12-14 minutes or until bottoms of cups are beginning to brown. Remove from oven.
- If desired, remove rind from brie. Cut 6 cubes from brie, about 3/4-inch each. Place 1 cube in each cup; place sheet of aluminum foil over each pan to prevent excessive browning. Return to oven. Bake 3-5 minutes longer or until brie is soft. Remove from oven; top each with 2 roasted blackberries.

- 3/4 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 6 slices French bread, toasted
- 1-2 mint leaves, thinly sliced

Not a fan of brie, but berries are quite tasty cooked in both sweet and savory dishes.
Oh I think even I could make these! Delish!
They look delicious! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
Yay! The previous, and next buttons are back! 🙂
My husband and I were at the Driscoll tasting event, too. We are home in Washington state now, and I have made the roasted blackberry wontons, except I used pastry.
I want to make the strawberry bruschetta next. What exactly is balsamic glaze?
My husband is anxious for another taste of the meatballs. My notes say the garnish was goat cheese and microgreens.
