All the things you love about brie — its oozy, luscious texture and sweet, creamy flavor — are turned up to 11 when you heat it up! Maybe you’ve tried brie in grilled cheese or tucked into an omelet, but there is nothing quite like the wild decadence of baked brie. Recent guests in the Pennsylvania Kitchen, Tim Mountz of Kennett Square-area Happy Cat Farm and Ryan Bloome, Executive Chef at Terrain Garden Cafe in Glen Mills, did us one better. They had the genius idea to take a piece of brie from Talula’s Table, some scratch-made pie dough from Nomadic Pies, and a jar of Happy Cat’s own heirloom tomato jam and created the most enticing appetizer we’ve ever seen.
Try this simple recipe and knock the socks off your next date or party guests!
