It all started at brunch today when I ordered a sandwich with Brie. Jacob declared that he wanted Brie for dinner, so I went on a hunt for brie inspired recipes. I found a Guy Fieri recipe for Brie Smothered Pork Chops: www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/guy-fieri/brie-smothered-pork-chops-recipe/index.html , and oh. my. goodness. They were delicious!
We rounded out our Brie meal with an old stand-by: brie, apples and fig jam enclosed in pizza dough. Here’s how it goes: purchase pizza dough, cut the white stuff off the brie, and thinly slice an apple. Stretch the dough, place the brie, apple and either spread the fig jam, or add figs and close the dough around the ingredients. Brush with butter and olive oil and bake for about 10 minutes at 500 degrees. Prepare for scrumptiousness and an inability to stop eating the stuff.
Finally we gathered some lettuces from our garden, made vinaigrette with olive oil and balsamic vinegar from alfonsooliveoil.com and
enjoyed our brie inspired meal!
