Baked Brie

I've been wanting to try this forever! I keep hearing how fabulous baked brie is and how it's always such a hit at parties, but I never got a chance to try it. Well, I still didn't get to try it this year since brie is on the "do not eat" list for pregnant ladies, but everyone else seemed to enjoy it!

Next I had to decide on what kind of baked brie I wanted to make. Wrapped in puff pastry? Topped with a fruit compote? What kind of fruit compote?

In the end, I decided to save myself a bit of trouble and just go with the easiest version out there...topped with honey and nuts.

I can't give a personal report on whether it was good or not, but it seemed to go over well with the guests. Hopefully I'll get a chance to try it myself one of these days...

Ingredients:
- Brie

- Honey

- Nuts (I used sliced almonds)
- Crackers


Directions:

- Place the brie on a piece of foil and pop it in the oven at 350 until the middle is soft and gooey. It shouldn't take very long at all.

- Transfer the brie onto the serving plate and drizzle honey on top.

- Garnish with nuts.

- Serve with crackers.
(I also placed a few apple slices around for a bit more color)

You can't eat brie when you're pregnant!!! Crap. I am going to have a hard nine months should such a day ever come.

This sounds fantastic and yes you really need to try it sometime!

Happy holidays!

I always think this dish looks so festive and fancy. I have never eaten Brie and have no idea what it even taste like.

This is the best appetizer! Just the best. Try and keep it around for an hour - ha! It looks delectable! Happy New year! Wanted you to know I did make it your way - never made it with honey before. Had a hard time getting it out of the kitchen - so many busy hands scooping as I walked.
