Baked Brie

Growing up, my parents would often entertain friends or have business associates over for a meal

More often then not my parents who set out some brie and fancy crackers.

In time, my parents learned to wait til the guests arrived to set the brie out. This way it was less likely to be raided by our pet or myself

When my children and I used to have a monthly dinner at my former sister-in-laws place. I would bring brie as one dishes to share.

As long as I can remember, I have always enjoyed cheese. My children seem to as well or just a wiliness to try.

The following recipe is not what you might think of as a traditional baked brie, but its very delicious never the less...
