Brie is such a versatile cheese for appetizers. You can bake it in puff pastry, bake it in the oven with various toppings, split it in half and stuff it with a filling or in this case marinate it and then barbecue it.
Barbecued Marinated Brie is a nice combination of lemon, garlic, mustard and sweet pepper. What a treat to be able to barbecue the brie, instead of heating up the oven on a warm summer’s evening.
I love to serve this with fresh sliced pears, along with thinly sliced baguette or plain crackers.
Very yummy!
