BRIE PIE (TOURTE AU BRIE)

Steps:

• The day before, combine flour, butter and a little water to make the dough for the pie crust. Refrigerate overnight (To save time, I sometimes omit this step and use a store-bought crust).
• Divide the dough into 2 parts, bearing in mind that the bottom crust requires more dough than the top. Roll out the dough (again, I omit this step when using a store-bought crust). Butter a pie plate or line with parchment paper, then place bottom crust in pie plate.
• Remove the crusts from the cheeses, then slice the cheeses. Cover the bottom of the pie crust with the cheese slices, then sprinkle with nutmeg.
• Beat 1 egg together with the liquid cream and pour over the brie slices.
• Cover with the top pie crust, carefully sealing the edges and cutting a few small slits in the top crust.
• Beat remaining egg together with a dash of salt and brush over top crust to make it golden brown during baking.
• Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 25 minutes. Serve warm with a green salad.

BRIE CHEESE TORTE WITH SMOKED SALMON & DILL

Steps:

• With a nylon fishing line or unflavored dental floss, cut the wheel of Brie into three crosswise layers.
• On the bottom layer place a very thin layer of smoked salmon, then chopped dill.
• Place the second layer of cheese directly on the first and repeat the process.
• Finish with the top layer.
• Coat the entire outside of the torte with chopped dill.
• Wrap in plastic and place in the refrigerator overnight.
• To serve, cut the torte in half to show the layers and allow your guests to cut their own portions.

TARTE DE BRIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Line an 8-inch flan dish with pastry. Remove the outside rind from the cheese, and cut the cheese into 1-inch square pieces. Place them into the lined dish. Cut the rind into neat triangular pieces and arrange them on top of the cheese. Beat together the milk or cream, eggs, ginger and salt, to taste. Pour carefully into the dish, trying not to disturb the arrangement of the rind. Bake for about 40 minutes or until the custard is set and the tart is golden brown on top.
