Yesterday I said that I would share a (sweet) recipe today…but I changed my mind. I made an appetizer for Larry’s dinner last night…and could not wait to post it.

The Baked Brie

Ingredients

1 small round of your favorite brie

1 loaf of day old bread from the bakery

A few sprigs of thyme

Olive oil

minced garlic

*****

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place the cheese (still in rind, because the rind will hold the melted cheese in) onto a baking dish.

• 

Place sprig of thyme on top and drizzle with olive oil.

Bake for 25-30 min

While the cheese is in the oven, make your crostini. I toasted the old bread. When it comes out of the toaster, I brush it with garlic olive oil and cut into individual pieces.

Bring the cheese out of the oven when it is time, and let it cool a few moments. Then cut the brie round down the middle and let the cheese run out. I do not eat the rind. Larry does.

To serve. take a piece of bread and using a knife, put a healthy amount of brie on it, top with mushrooms…..Perfection.

Last night I sauteed baby bella mushrooms in butter to place on top of the crostini and cheese. Next time, I will top the cheese with caramelized onions. Larry thinks that cherry tomatoes, sauteed would be good too.

It is finally Friday……keep smiling.

Love you.
