Baked Brie with Mushrooms and Almonds

By Brie

"Delectable Brie never appeared more elegant than when bathed in a brandy sauce with mushrooms, almonds and tarragon. Serve this appetizer warm with baguette slices."

Ingredients

• 2-1 tablespoons butter(less)or omit--Brie is oily
• 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
• 2 tablespoons slivered almonds/much more
• 1 (8 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained/fresh
• 1 tablespoon brandy/flavoured brandy
• 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
• 1 (8 ounce) wedge Brie cheese, coating removed
• Serve with toasted baguette or triscuits

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Mix in garlic and almonds, heating until almonds are lightly browned. Stir in mushrooms and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Cover with brandy and sprinkle with tarragon.

Place Brie in a small baking dish. Pour the mushroom and brandy mixture over Brie.

Bake in the preheated oven 20 minutes, or until bubbly.
