Last NYE I made some Brie done in the old world way. Take a Brie wheel (get one with the wooden box/basket) and melt it in the oven. I don't remember the time or temp, but you can look that up. You don't want to overheat it or the cheese will denature and turn to shit. Once melted at the center, remove it to a serving dish. Layer on some apricot preserves, a drizzle of honey and some walnuts. You can also add some crispy bacon for an added savory kick. Eat the cheese still warm with some crusty bread or water crackers.
The flavor combination seems odd but it is pure mana from heaven. Serve it with other finger foods and your choice of libations (White wine or champagne works best though). Thank me later.
