BAKED BRIE

Is there anything better than baked Brie cheese? Oozing and melting all over your cracker?! Don't think so!

Baked Brie is a great appetizer and hors d'oeuvres.... A great party trick that is perfect to feed a crowd. I normally top my baked Brie with a nice smooth apricot jam but this past weekend I wanted to try something different. My creation was baked Brie topped with sun dried tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and basil. The results were great, a smooth creamy cheese balanced out by the salty tang of the cured tomatoes with a sweet note from the roared garlic. Serve with toasted up baguette or store bought crostini and you have yourself a winning dish
