Directions
Mushroom Stuffed Brie En Croute, When Sex & the City was on HBO, I hosted a girls’ get-together every Sunday night, complete with cosmopolitans and champagne This baked brie got the most compliments and there were never leftovers Note that this can be made in advance and put in the oven when your guests arrive – the house will smell good! The recipe is originally from Gourmet magazine , It%u2019s best to use a firm, fairly unripe Brie for this recipe Freezing Brie for about 20 minutes is a trick that will keep the cheese from melting too much during baking, while still allowing it to become soft and spreadable , Made this last night for a girls night in and we devoured it!! It was SO yummy! I’m making it again tonight for my hubby because I know he’ll love it too and I have more stuff to make it that I need to use up! 😉
