My husband and I love to entertain. I love Brie, and he loves mushrooms. I tried to create a new recipe that includes both to share with our friends. Everyone loves this recipe, so I wanted to share it.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This mushroom brie en croute is an impressive appetizer. It has a delicious mixture of sauteed mushrooms and caramelized onions sandwiched between sliced Brie and baked inside flaky puff pastry. Savory and rich, spread the melted Brie on slices of toasted baguette.
