Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Variation: Top baked Brie with 3 tablespoons drained julienne sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil and herbs (from 8-ounce jar) and 1 tablespoon toasted pine nuts. Or top with your favourite flavour of chutney.
  • Tip 2
    How To: To toast nuts, bake uncovered in ungreased shallow pan in 350 oven about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Or cook in ungreased heavy skillet over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until golden brown.
