I had the Brie as an appetizer served with red pepper jelly and basil pesto and with crostini to spread the cheese on. I liked both versions.

It was sweet and spicy and a bit tangy and really cut through the richness of the baked brie. I'm going to post pictures from the dinner that night which you can see for yourself tomorrow or the next day.

Here's the link. I apologize for the poor lighting but the restaurant was dark and the flash didn't help too much.

The dinner and the company were a nice treat especially as I'm used to eating by myself.

Never thought of eating my camembert like that, thanks for the idea!

Could be better with an excellent camembert, AU LAIT CRU if possible, I guess...
