Crescent-Wrapped Brie

Crescent Rolls w/ Brie
Home - Wicker Park

This is one of my favorite appetizers to make because it's easy and a definite crowd pleaser.  I originally got the idea from Miss Annie Koday, and I decided to make it for book club last month and for a dinner supplement tonight with Jim.  The recipe can be found here, at Pillsbury.com. 

You get to cut out fun shapes in the extra dough, which is always a good time.  I chose B <3 J this time around, but I've learned quickly that I need to invest in some cookie cutters because Bs are far too difficult to cut out of dough.  It can be served with apples (my favorite) or crackers (carb on carb).


When I made this for book club, I used regular crescent rolls and regular brie.  But this time, because I knew I was eating it for dinner with just one other person, I used low-fat crescent rolls and low-fat brie.  Although the flavors were still nice, I found the high-fat stuff to make for a better dish.  The brie wasn't as melty and the crescent rolls weren't as buttery.  I ended up eating most of it myself, so my arteries were probably thanking me.


I suggest this as a quick and delicious appetizer for any occasion.  It's easy to prepare and easy to eat.  How can you go wrong with cheese and crescent rolls?
