Nothing makes a more indulgent appetizer than warm gooey brie, subtly flavoured with grape leaves.

 

Ingredients

• 180g wheel (about 3/4 cup) goat's milk or cow's milk brie in a wooden box
• 12 grape leaves

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Take the brie out of its wooden box and remove its plastic wrapping.

2 Place the box on a baking sheet and line the inside with the grape leaves, overlapping the edge of the box with some of the leaves.

3 Place the brie back in the box and fold the leaves over the cheese. Back for 10 to 15 minutes, until the brie is gooey.

4 Serve warm on a platter (or in the box if the brie is too gooey) with homemade crackers, dried fruit and pear slices. A spoon is the best tool for scooping up the melted cheese.
