Now that October is gone, the end-of-year celebrations are officially starting! This is the time when friends come to visit, you have family over for dinner and make some great memories. With a handful of ingredients, you get an impressive looking and delicious appetizer. You just have to pick up your favorite brie, sun-dried tomatoes and some parsley. If you are not a fan of parsley, fresh basil is a great and delicious substitute.

Brie is delicious, and here are a few fun facts about it:

It’s a soft cow’s milk cheese, that has an edible white, flowery rind.
With a light, and buttery scent, its flavor has a salty finish.
As it’s a mild cheese, its extremely versatile. You can serve it with strong flavors like tangy fruit sweet preserves or acidic tomato toppings, like this recipe.
If you happen to have some brie left after serving, you can cover it completely in plastic wrap. This is to protect its creamy interior. When serving again, just remove the plastic wrap and heat again until it’s melted and has heated through completely.

You can serve this cheese with regular crackers, but we love using toasted baguette slices. Also, serve this with black olives to compliment the platter. We found a great heat resistant round glass container, that is perfect for baking the brie in the oven. then we also got a great wooden serving platter with 3 ceramic bowls from Symphony. You can find all of these products at Almacenes Siman.

Stay turned for more holiday-friendly recipes coming to you all throughout November and December!
