Title: Cheater Lobster Bisque

I have also stirred in and melted Camembert cheese after slicing
off the rind;

What did you then do with the rind?

I don't recall; I probably just nibbled on it while making the
bisque, I certainly wouldn't have discarded it!

It has been long enough since I have had Camambert that I don't recall
dealing with the rind. I am more likely to use Brie if doing fancy and
cheesy treats. The Brie rind certainly is edible .... well, all cheese
rinds are edible - but not all are tasty. Anyway the Brie rind adds a
mushroomy flavour - which I quite like.

Here are a couple Brie things I have done - to impress young ladies with
my cooking prowess. Bv)= Both are easy as well as tasty.

The second is especially nice on this (St. Valentine's) day.

Title: Elegant Baked Brie
Categories: Five, Appetisers, Cheese, Nuts
Yield: 8 Servings

8 oz Round Brie cheese
2 tb Pesto sauce
1/4 c Toasted pine nuts
2 ts Brown sugar
8 oz Tube refrigerated crescent
- rolls

Set oven to 400°F/205°C.

Cut Brie cheese horizontally in half, creating two equal
rounds similar to a layered cake. Spread pesto sauce on
the cut surface of 1 half; sprinkle pine nuts and brown
sugar over pesto layer. Place the other Brie half on top
of pesto mixture.

Separate crescent rolls and cover entire Brie round with
crescent roll dough, sealing all the gaps. Place covered
Brie on a baking sheet.

Bake in the heated oven until Brie cheese is softened and
crescent rolls are lightly browned, about 20 minutes.

NOTE: This also works with puff pastry. - UDD
