Valentine's Treats for Grown Ups


A decadent but easy treat for two is baked brie. We carry a few different brie bakers (including the stainless steel one, above, which is also safe for use on the grill) but you can also bake brie in any kind of casserole dish. Brie is delicious baked on it's own, or with an assortment of toppings (a delicious dessert option is just brie, topped with brown sugar and sliced almonds.)

For Valentine's Day, why not spice it up with some hot pepper jelly?




Baked Brie with Hot Pepper Jelly
Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F)

TO PREPARE THE BRIE: Remove top rind of cheese, leaving rind on sides and bottom in tact. Place brie, cut side up, in Brie Baker.

DIRECTIONS: Top prepared brie with 125 ml (1/2 cup) Hot Pepper Jelly.

Place Brie Baker, without putting the lid on, in center of hot oven for 15 minutes.

Remove from oven (with oven mitts) & put Brie Baker cover on Baker to keep baked brie warm and soft until ready to serve. Place hot Brie Baker on a serving platter and surround with toasted baguette slices. Remove lid just before eating.

For something even easier, try one of our baked brie toppings, such as Cranberry Almond or Maple Walnut. Try serving with slices of apple or pear and an assortment of breads or crackers.
