By akselden

Kit for instant hot appetizer. Just add baguette slices or crackers.

Ingredients

• 1 round of Brie or Camembert cheese, about 5" diameter (still in its wrapper)
• 1 C. coarsely chopped dried fruit (apricots, cranberries, whole sultana raisins, and currants)
• 3/4 C. coarsely chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, shelled unsalted pumpkin or sunflower seeds)
• 3 round tins of descending size

Preparation

Step 1

1. Place the round of Brie or Camembert cheese into the largest of the cake tins (or other round metal container). Fill the mid-sized tin with dried fruit and the smallest tin with nuts and seeds.

2. Label a recipe card to read (and then tuck it into the packaging):

Preheat oven to 400°F. Unwrap cheese. Slice off top rind. Place sliced-side up in a heatproof dish (such as a gratin dish). Press about three tablespoons dried fruit and two tablespoons nuts and seeds onto cheese. Bake 10 minutes until cheese is softened. Serve warm with baguette slice or crackers.
