Wow, this recipe was great!! I did not have any basil, so I used dried parsley. I did not have 6oz of brie, so I put 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese and about 2-3 oz of cream cheese in the pan. I mixed and melted. The butter did not mix well with the cheese. I put the mixture on the french bread and broiled it. It still turned out wonderful. Thanks! -
We loved this recipe-It is easy and Oh so good. I cut the butter back to 1 tbsp, used a whole wheat Portuguese bun. I removed the rind from the Brie because I find that it doen't melt easily and depending on the type can add a bitter taste. This is a do again and again recipe -
As in Julie & Julia- you can never have too much butter! Loved this recipe but discovered that I am not a fan of brie cheese (this was the first time ever trying it). I would make this recipe again with a different type of cheese, maybe feta or gouda ?? -
If only onion, butter, cheese and basil are melted together what are the big chunks sitting on the bread? I would love to make this recipe, but I am confused by the photo.

This bread is just luverly! I used a day-old ciabatta loaf instead of French bread. I think I could have cut down on the butter and still ended up with the same mouth-watering results. When I do this next time, I think I will cut the rind off the brie...I don't particularly care for the rind and, also, i noticed that it didn't melt as well as the rest of the ooey-gooey, oh so yummy brie did. Thanks for a blue ribbon recipe! Love it. -
yummy!! this is just divine!!! i could have ate the whole mixture by itself with a spoon! luckily, i was able to restrain myself! i made this up ahead of time and all i had to do was pull it out of the fridge and broil as recommended! this is a great way to do bread instead of the usual boring garlic bread. i will be making this time and again! thanks for the keeper!

I moved to Spain about 2 years ago from San Diego after I retired. I am now living my dream of living the Sapnish culture.
I love to cook and especially like Spanish food. I intend to share some of the recipes with you over the next weeks. Would love to hear from anyone interested in Spain.
