Amazing!!!

This recipe was excellent! I followed the recipe, but I used dried thyme instead of fresh and baked it for about 20 minutes. While I was preparing the main dish, my three guests devoured the whole thing in about 20 minutes. If you have more than four guests, I would make two brie rounds.

This was a nice, easy and tasty appetizer. Next time I'd bake it a little longer take the rind off the sides too. I substituted pecans for the walnuts. Delicious with both chardonnay and pinot noir, so great for parties.

This was good. Maybe too much thyme for a balance of flavors, but that's just really nitpicking. Easy

This is the simplest and tastiest "go to dish". I bring it to all my holiday events and it is usually gone before dinner even starts! I do add a bit more cranberries and walnuts to the top- since that is what people usually go for! But overall the favors meld together beautifully and people can never get enough!
