Summary
A few weeks ago, Emily Bell, one of my longtime assistants, called to tell me about a new recipe she had created. I knew from the excitement in her voice that this was something special. She had taken a retro appetizer from the '80s -- baked Brie -- and updated it. A small 8-ounce round was topped with a glaze prepared with apricot preserves, sauteed onions, a splash of red wine vinegar and some country Dijon. Then sliced almonds were sprinkled over the wheel before it was baked. Served warm with thin crackers and sliced fruit, the cheese had been a huge hit with her family.
I couldn't wait to try the recipe. Although I followed the directions carefully, I did make one major change, substituting a Camembert for the Brie. The two cheeses are interchangeable in this dish, and I was seduced by a tempting mound of beautiful Camemberts at my local cheese shop.See the full content of this document
