    Brie en croute sounds fancy, but is a snap to make!  And who doesn’t love a melty medley of jam and cheese wrapped in pastry dough? – – I think this was one of the first recipes I ever made. For something that’s got a fancy French name, and is soooo delicious, it really is crazy how easy it is to make!  This is a perfect appetizer when you’re looking to impress without the hard work.
