Brie Baked with Pesto

I don’t have a great photo of this one – but it was AMAZING.  I bought a jar of pesto at the store the other day – maybe I’ll make my own one day, baby steps – and wanted to try making a cheesy pesto appetizer for Christmas Eve.  It turned out really good except that there was an oil slick in the dish.  I mopped up most of it with a paper towel.  If I had made my own pesto, I would have just cut waaaaay back on the olive oil and it would have been fine.

Baked Brie with Pesto

1 8oz Brie wheel

Pesto

Crackers or Bagel chips for dipping

Preheat oven to 350

Cut the rind off the top of the brie wheel.  Top with about 1/4 – 1/2 inch pesto

Bake for 20-30 minutes

Serve with a plain bread or cracker.  Something with little to no flavor, as the pesto/brie combo is pretty amazing on its own.
