Preparing Brie with Nuts & a Jalapeno Pepper Flower: Recipe Demo Help!

[RossDeb2]

I'm making the featured brie recipe for a host tomorrow evening. She requested it. She has however asked me to do half without the nuts. Will the recipe turn out ok without the nuts? Hs anyone seen the recipe demoed where the jalapeno pepper is cut into a flower shape and placed on top of the brie before baking? My director mentioned it but I just can't seem to visualize it??? Any thoughts on it? TIA

I made the jalapeno brie without the nuts, it works fine. At my last show that I did the brie at, I found smaller wheels of brie. I did one with nuts and one without. Worked fine. I think the jalapeno flower on top would be cool! Just remember to use gloves when you are doing your garnish!

Great idea. Thanks for the reminder!

I made the brown sugar variation at home here and it was good too.

I recomend using twice the Jelly my director said it wasn't enough. So the only way I have made it is with extra jelly. I also took quite a few of the veins out to give it good taste without all the bite.

It's pretty impossible to do half without the nuts. You could make two and do a second one without the nuts.

I have to tell you I did this recipe at a show I did this past week. I had NEVER tried it prior to the show (I know, bad me). I did watched it on the F/W DVD that we received with our fall paperwork. It looked so easy on the video and I wanted to use the new large round stone with handles so I thought "what the heck, how hard could it be". Well ladies everyone at the show loved it. It was absolutely scarfed up. Very quick and easy recipe. I really love that PC sends us the DVD.

I didn't think I would like this recipe at all, but turns out it is one of my very favorite recipes in the new SB. It's hard for me to convince hosts that it is a great demo. They have the same look on their face as I did when I first saw it. I have already made it at 1 show and 3 times at home or for family and I already bought more to make when my Mom comes to visit on Wednesday. When my sister was here we actually ate it as a meal. We were so hungry and too tired to make anything else.

Oh and I agree it would be impossible to put nuts on half and have it stay that way. It's not very big and when you serve it everything kind of melts and mushes together.
