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
- Prepare the fries: Preheat the oven according to McCain Craft Beer Battered Thin Cut Fries package instructions.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add fresh toppings: Remove the tray from oven and scatter the fresh arugula, prosciutto and pomegranate seeds evenly over the melted cheese.
- Finish and serve: Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan and serve immediately while the fries are hot and the cheese is melted.
