Baked Brie With Mushrooms and Thyme

"This is a wonderfully indulgent appetizer! I sometimes roast 2 heads (not cloves) of garlic and let my guests spread some garlic on the bread before spreading the cheese on...divine!! Tho the recipe calls for brie in a box, I usually buy a round of Brie and put it into a small oven-proof dish. I have also used minced green onions instead of the shallots with good results. If the baby bella shrooms are large, cut them into quarters.To cut the top off the round of Brie more easily, first place the cheese in the freezer for a few minutes to firm it up slightly. If you can get a sour dough baguette in your neck of the woods I highly recommend it! This is adapted from a recipe of Rick Rodgers."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>Hello all, being from California, I can honestly say I am a foodie. You can walk by construction workers here and hear them saying things like, So I used some fresh garlic and olive oil, then threw the rest into the pan to sautee. LOL I love all kinds of food, and trying to eat healthier as I get older, but still indulge in the occasional deep-fried food or sweet. <br />I LOVE this site! I have 3 or 4 other food sites such as Epicurious and Food Network, but I always come back here! The ease and all of the features just can't be beat. <br />Thanks Zaar and I look forward to participating more.</p>
