Hot Brie

You can make this at home – you don’t have to buy it at Costco!  

Ingredients:

  • Brie cheese – wedge or whole, large or small
  • butter – some, not too much
  • sliced almonds – lightly scatter

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven 350°.
  2. Place brie in a shallow ovenproof dish.
  3. Top with butter and almonds.
  4. Bake for about 15 minutes – until melted but not runny.
  5. Serve with crackers.

Notes:  This is just the beginning.  Top it with honey, raspberry jam, caramelized onions,or sun-dried tomatoes.  Wrap it in a sheet of puff pastry or filo dough.  Use Havarti, Gouda or some other semi-soft cheese instead of brie.  Use your imagination!
