I love serving cheese as an appetizer and one of my very favorites is creamy Brie.

This brie recipe is so easy anyone can prepare it in minutes. It looks impressive  and tastes delicious when served on a platter with crackers and fruit.

Raspberry Pistachio Baked Brie

Ingredients

• 8 ounce wheel of brie cheese

• sliced apples pears and crackers for dipping

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

• Place the brie in a small oven safe skillet (I like cast iron) or small baking dish.
• Heat the raspberry jam for 5 to 10 seconds in the microwave on high until it's easily spreadable.
• Spoon it on top of the Brie, right in the middle. Using a rubber spatula, spread it out to the edges.
• Spoon the pistachios on top of the jam, covering the top.
• Bake the Brie in the center rack for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is beginning to melt inside.
• Remove from oven and serve warm.

I used raspberry jam and pistachios because I served this dish during the holidays and they were festive colors.
