Definitely impresses guests. A couple of notes - I don't think the olive oil is necessary - mine turned out quite oily due to the fat in the cheese and the added oil made the cheese harder to put on the bread. Also it's better if you let it cool for a bit after taking it out of the oven - too hot and it's hard to get the cheese to stick to anything when you dip. -
We really enjoyed this, I managed to get a round of Brie, I photographed it, and put it in the oven, it did cook quicker than anticipated. we enjoyed it with some crusty French bread... so much that I forgot to take a picture after it was cooked. I will be making this again. and experiment with different herbs too. I will be making this again. Thanks for posting it. -
Made this to serve a group of us celebrating the 4th of July tomorrow! I want to spread them all around, so ended up making 5 individual batches, which will work out just fine ~ Meantime, half of one of them has already been devoured, & the 4th isn't even here yet! VERY, VERY TASTY BRIE APPETIZER! Thanks for a great keeper recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Gimme 5 tag]

This was also my first time doing a baked brie, and it was so easy and turned out great. I served it with homemade french bread. This was easy enough that I will be able to do it in the RV when we have our "snack-y" dinner night! -
This is really good. I will be making this again and again. Loved it! Thanks for a great recipe.

My screen name is a diminutive in Lithuanian for bread, so you won't be suprised to learn that I love to bake bread. In recent years I have been baking a lot of sourdough breads and have several starters sitting in my refrigerator. But I like to cook a lot of other things, as well, especially from various cultures. The cat wishes I would concentrate on meat and fish... I joined a few years ago but started posting recipes and participating in forums just recently - I wish I had done so earlier. Recipezaar is a great community! Right now I am a co-host for the Breads and Baking and the Eastern Europe forums - I hope to see you there!
