I like baked brie and was in the mood for it tonight for dinner. I have made a baked brie appetizer before where I wrapped it in crescent rolls and baked it for 40 minutes or so and served it with crackers and apples. Tonight, I wanted something a bit lighter and found a recipe online about parmesan brie. It was really, really easy. The recipe was nice and light and was perfect to eat alongside a salad.
