Wednesday Recipes...Honey-Mustard Brie

I apologize, readers. Yes, today's Wednesday recipe is coming out on a Thursday. I'm sorry, but this is final exams week. Do you remember that feeling of being crushed by papers you need to grade? No? How about the feeling of showing up for a test on the wrong day?

All of that. Professors deal with all of the feels. So, I'm behind.

But the recipe is easy and delicious and perfect for entertaining--and I purchased the book at the Biltmore in North Carolina. Enjoy!

Honey-Mustard Brie

Ingredients:

1 (15-ounce) round Brie cheese

1/4 cup honey mustard (not the salad dressing, but found in the mustard aisle)

1 Tablespoon honey (I used the Montana honey my nephew sent me from the ranch he manages)

1/4 cup toasted walnuts (spread on a baking sheet at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes--when you can smell the deliciousness)

Directions:

1. Cut the top rind from the cheese, leaving a 1/2 inch border. Place on a serving tray.

2. Combine the honey mustard and honey in a bowl and mix well. Spread over the cheese.

3. Sprinkle with the walnuts.

4. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour or longer.

5. Serve with apple slices and whole wheat crackers.

I served at my local writer's retreat at the beach--be careful, it's addictive!
