Brie

Grilled Brie and Pear Sandwich

Grilled Brie and Pear Sandwich from A Pinch of Joy

The grilled brie and pear sandwich caught my eye immediately!   Last Thursday, the women on my block went to lunch for our regular monthly get together.  We try out new restaurants  and visit old favorites.  Sometimes we go shopping afterwards or to a movie, but mostly we just talk and catch up with one another.  This time we went to a new to us restaurant with a wonderfully eclectic menu.  I don't usually order sandwiches but grilled brie and pear just sounded so  MMMMMMM!  It was indeed!   I had to come home and create the spirit of this wonderful melty inside, crusty outside grilled brie and pear  sandwich for Wheels and Bytes – and me!    Begin with wonderful crusty artisan sourdough bread sliced into eight  slabs.   Add a circle of brie sliced thinly, a ripe large Bosc pear sliced ...

Mile High Brie

 When Apple Valley Sue is invited to events, the hostess requests she bring her spectacular Mile High Brie.  You know those requests mean Yummy captalized!  Apple Valley Sue was sweet enough to send a copy to me -- another great recipe that has become a signature dish! She says: “here is a great appetizer for parties.  It is just 6 ingredients that you throw together  on top of a round of brie with a couple of sauces drizzled on top.  They are especially a hit at Christmas parties -- everyone loves it.  I saw Mile High Brie in a showcase last year at one of the grocery stores where they were selling for about $15.  You can make them for a lot less!  Here’s the ingredients: One round of Brie, top rind removed Walnuts Red Maraschino cherries (or a mix of red and green for ...
