For the aforementioned UGA football gamewatching, I checked another Paula Deen recipe off the list.
Brie en Croute #2 (the other Brie en Croute recipe is much sweeter)
I'm starting to realize that following instructions isn't so easy....I can't resist adjusting the recipe a little....maybe getting through this cookbook won't be as easy as I thought. I mean I'm only 3 recipes in and already I can't stay on track....
Anyway, I love baked brie and it's so versatile in terms of taste - you can make it savory and salty or sweet. I love this recipe's combination of sweet jam with brie. And the nutty flavor from the toasted pecans was a perfect touch. It would be easy to sweeten this one up with brown sugar, too. I might try that next time.
So, what variations did I make?
-Phyllo dough instead of puff pastry
-I only buttered the outside of the dough
- I didn't twist it up all fancy - just tucked the dough underneath the cheese.
-I used fig jam - it is SO tasty.
Sorry, again, no pictures.
But enjoy this recipe for yourselves: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/brie-en-croute-2-recipe/index.html
