In honor of the primary voting currently taking place in the state of Wisconsin, I thought I'd put up this recipe for Carmelized Almond Raspberry Brie. I couldn't resist a recipe that put those four words together into one item. I used to hate cheese-based desserts (like cheesecake), but now I love them, and I'm intrigued by the combo of Wisconsin Brie, sliced almonds, raspberry jam, honey, and shortbread cookies.
And yes, Hawaii and Washington, I know you're voting and caucusing today too. I just felt like putting up a cheese recipe, nothing personal.
Carmelized Almond Raspberry Brie
1 wheel (15 oz.) Wisconsin Brie, chilled
2 tablespoons red raspberry jam
2 tablespoons brown sugar (plus more for topping)
1 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup sliced almonds (plus more for topping)
Wafer or shortbread cookies
Slice Brie in half horizontally. Place bottom half of Brie on 10x15 inch jellyroll pan.
Combine jam, brown sugar, honey and almonds; spread over cut side of Brie. Replace top half of Brie, rind side up. Sprinkle with brown sugar and almonds. Bake at 375° F for 10 to 12 minutes or until soft. Then broil 3 inches from heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or until Brie is bubbly and almonds are caramelized. Serve with cookies.
Tip: Instead of baking, Brie can be microwaved for 2 to 4 minutes or until softened.

But it's caramel. Not Carmel, California.

Do you actually EAT? I would expect that a food blogger would like more than just chocolate mint, almonds, and gumdrops...not trying to be mean, but it's the truth.
