Appetizer #7

"Brie and Easy", quite a simple name for this dish. Rightfully so, as this four ingredient dish was so simple to make. I made it for Christmas lunch with my good friend and her mom, and we all enjoyed it.  The recipe is in the Hearts & Flours Cookbook - A Sampler of Recipes from the Heart of Texas, produced by the Junior League of Waco in 1988.  There is an inscription at the front of the book. Dated in 1997, it reads "Claire - Hope you enjoy this book as much as I have. Best wishes, Celeste". I really, liked this recipe and definitely plan to make this again. Modifications in italics. 

Ingredients:

one round of brie (I used a wedge which weighed about .67 lbs and I really liked how the wedge melted)

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1/4 cup chopped raisins (I used a mix of dried cranberry, cherry, blueberry & raisin)

1/2 cup chopped green onion

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Thinly slice off the top of the brie and place into an oven safe dish (I used a Pyrex pie dish). In a small bowl, mix together the chopped walnuts, raisins or dried berries and green onion. Sprinkle the walnut mixture over the brie and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the brie softens. Serve with crackers or thinly sliced tart, green apples.
