Turn crispy McCain Craft Beer Battered Thin Cut Fries into a festive, shareable appetizer with creamy melted Brie, nutty Gruyère, tart cranberry sauce, peppery arugula, prosciutto and jewel-like pomegranate seeds. Finished with freshly grated Parmesan, this colourful dish brings the flavours of a holiday charcuterie board to a platter of golden fries.

Ingredients

  • 2 packages McCain Craft Beer Battered Thin Cut Fries
  • 1 wheel (8 oz / 227 g) Brie cheese, sliced
  • 4 oz (113 g) gated Gruyère cheese, about 1 cup
  • ¼ cup cranberry sauce
  • ½ cup fresh arugula
  • 2 oz (60 g) prosciutto, about 5 thin slices, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • ⅓ cup pomegranate seeds
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Prepare the fries: Preheat the oven according to McCain Craft Beer Battered Thin Cut Fries package instructions.
  2. Assemble the fries: Transfer the cooked fries to an oven-safe serving platter or rimmed baking sheet. Arrange the sliced Brie evenly over the fries, followed by the grated Gruyère. Spoon the cranberry sauce throughout the dish.
  3. Melt the cheese: Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C), add the Brie, Gruyère and cranberry sauce, and return to the oven for about 5 minutes until melted.
  4. Add fresh toppings: Remove the tray from oven and scatter the fresh arugula, prosciutto and pomegranate seeds evenly over the melted cheese.
  5. Finish and serve: Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan and serve immediately while the fries are hot and the cheese is melted.
