I
don’t care what the cheese snobs say, I’m going to bring brie, and love
it, and I’m sure that everyone at the party will too. Even if it isn’t as good
as the European version it’s still pretty damn good.

Over
the years I have made, and eaten so many different kinds of Brie en croute, or
baked brie I couldn’t even begin to tell you all of them. It is one of my
favorite things to bring to a winter or fall event, all warm gooey and
delicious.
I
especially like to add it to most of my cheese plates, because it adds a little
something extra from just sliced cheese, and other sides.

This
recipe is the very first one that I ever made.
It’s
supposed to be standing up like a solid block, but sometimes when things come
out of the oven I get a little giddy with anticipation, a little over excited,
and forget that things need time to cool just a little. I suggest you let your
brie cool for 5-10 minutes, before you start cutting, or you will end up with
an oozy mess like I did.

But
that’s ok; it just means we had to eat it faster.
