I can’t believe it took me so long to try this simple but sinful dish for myself. Ooey gooey cheese? What’s not to love?
It did seem a bit decadent for one person’s lunch, but I had just been watching a documentary on French cheesemaking and the host tucked into a little melty wheel of brie with some bread and a side salad and I just about broke all land speed records to get to the store and make one for my very own.
No, I did not share.
But never fear, I did not eat it all. I regret that decision, looking at these pictures!
While I have no fancy French wooden boxes with which to house my oven-bound cheese, I did have a ramekin that worked just as well.
Next time though, I’m going to try a cranberry-macadamia concoction on the top and baked. Join me?

MotherDownUnder says
Bake brie is a staple in my family. My mom trots out a version with brown sugar, maple syrup and pecans for all special occasions. It is freaking amazing.
Veggie Mama says
Can she be my mom toooooo?

Cheese week at Veggie Mama!
Veggie Mama says

Lisa Mckenzie says
OOh that looks nice,I don’t eat cheese as much as I used to as I am lactose intolerant but sometimes do ,you had me at the fig jam!
Veggie Mama says
Ohh it’s delicious, if I do say so myself 🙂

I haven’t made one since we left the icy wastes of Melbourne, but you can just wrap it in foil if you don’t have a ramekin, works fine. I like to pour a bit of wine over as well!
Veggie Mama says
Oh the wine! Yes I forgot about that. A bit freaked out about moving to the icy wastes of Melbourne, just quietly. I’m not good with frost!
Carly Findlay says
Oh my. I must. I have a teensy le-creuset that would be perfect for this.
What was the doco?
Veggie Mama says
I wish I could remember! I want to watch it again.
Glowless says
COME OUT BABY! I WANT SOME OF THIS! Yep, all capslock definitely needed for that.
Veggie Mama says
I hear it’s ok if heated until bubbling…
