Baking up something new in the kitchen!

It's time to get excited (or scared)! I'm making something new in the kitchen!

One thing I believe in is being creative and trying to make new things. You may find it's been done before somewhere down the line or someone perfected it, but you'll know in your heart you tried it first. That's what counts!

So, I had this idea to try something new. I love Brie. I love baked Brie even more. But the idea of having to make a whole baked brie is a pain in the ass. Let's face facts. Who wants to go out and get a whole brie wheel, and then make the dough, bake that momma, and then eat it all alone just because you wanted some baked brie? Not me! So, I made my own twist on a baked favorite.

Mini Baked Brie Hors d'oeuvres

• 1 can pre-made biscuits
• your favorite selection of Brie
• any extras you may want to fill pastry with (I used green apple for some, and green olives for others)
• any toppings you may like (I used bacon - some prefer raspberry preserves)

Seriously, this can't get any easier. Pop open you can of biscuits. Heat the oven to direction on the can. Take one of the biscuits, roll out on a floured surface. Cut your biscuit into quarters. Place your brie and any fillings into the dough, wrap and place on a (lightly greased) cookie sheet. If you're going to use bacon as a topping, lay bacon over the top of pastry before baking. Bake according to directions on the biscuit can (add about a minute extra if cooking with bacon). Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Honestly, it's silly easy to make this. And it doesn't just have to be made with brie. You can make this with whatever cheese and fillings you want. Too easy!!  Enjoy yourself!
