The Baby Brie is a soft ripened double crème wedge, hand-crafted in the French tradition. The Classic Baby Brie is buttery with a milky mild flavor. The Smoked Baby Brie is distinctive with intriguing earthy and smoky flavors.
Both of these cheeses are tasty, and I envision would work well in recipes featuring melted brie with other components either as a snack or an appetizer. For this recipe, I paired the Smoked Baby Brie with apple slices, Virginia ham, and flat breads to make these quick and delicious bites.
To make the Smoked Baby Brie, Apple, and Virginia Ham Bites, cut your flatbread (such as pita or naan) into thin rectangular pieces. Top each with a third of a slice of Virginia ham, two wedge slices of apples, and two thin small slices of Smoked Baby Brie. Bake in a oven on 350°C for just a few minutes or until the cheese begins to melt.
Alouette also sent me a few free coupons for cheeses including the new Baby Brie as well as the crumbled and spreadable cheeses. I would love to share these coupons with my readers! Just leave me a comment on this post and I will randomly pick three winners to receive three coupons each. This giveaway will be open until midnight on 9/30/09 (Wednesday next week) and the winners will be announced the following day, 10/1/09.
