Baked Brie and Merry Christmas

We are ready for some time off before going back to the office in the New Year. The kids are off school, my mom is visiting from Switzerland, my father in-law has been with us for the past week and we are enjoying our time together as a family. We’ve been battling some sniffles and fever, but I think we’ll all be on the mend for Christmas day!

If you are still looking for things to nibble on the next couple of days, you might want to consider this baked brie. It’s fast, easy and perfectly creamy and cheesy. The perfect cold day appetizer. Top it with your favourite cranberry sauce, or just top crackers with the warm and melty cheese. Happy Holidays indeed!

Baked Brie

Ingredients

1 brie
Toasted walnuts (optional)
Cranberry sauce (optional)
Honey
salt and pepper

Instructions

Set oven to broil. While oven is heating up, toast walnuts in a dry frying pan for a few minutes. Set aside.
Unpack room-temperature brie and place on a piece of parchment paper on a rimmed cookie sheet. Place cheese in oven for a few minutes until cheese softens but doesn't collapse. This depends on the size cheese you use and can happen very quickly. Remove from oven and carefully transfer brie to a platter with a large spatula. Sprinkle with pepper and serve immediately.
Serve with crackers or baguette and serve nuts, honey and cranberry sauce along with it.

A Holiday Special with SisterMag

Remember when I worked on a Spring special with SisterMag? Well, once that published we brainstormed the holiday season and a special that would focus on the colours purple and plum with lots of sparkle and bits of silver and gold. A selection of recipes and a couple of easy DIY for the holidays. I loved putting this together – I brainstormed, sketched and wrote out what I wanted to achieve. This is one of the times where the things that I imagined in my head turned out the way I wanted.

While it’s crazy to be baking Christmas cookies in October – it’s also fun and had the benefit of having a bunch of things in the freezer, ready for the holidays.

Once again, Thea did an amazing job with the design. I always look forward to how she interprets the photos and puts them together in a cohesive spread.

Head on over to the new issue of SisterMag to get the full spread of recipes on page 152. You’ll find recipes for plum cake, cranberry sauce, pomegranate champagne, baked brie, beet salad, sugar cookies and thumbprints as well as pages and pages of additional amazing content. SisterMag is published in both German and English. Congrats to Thea and Toni on this special holiday issue of SisterMag!
