Simple but decadent! Very rich and buttery (maybe because I SLATHERED it on my baguette) and I liked the way the brie didn't melt away entirely - there were small chunks here and there which added to the texture and taste. I used more onion, maybe 1/3 cup, finely diced, and a tbsp dried basil leaves, crushed, then sprinkled more on top before broiling. I had some mixture left over, so, without being quite so generous as I was with the baguette, it would do well for a larger loaf. What a crowning achievement in appies, AAIS!!

    I made this tonight for our good friends and neighbours who came to dinner. This was so simple to assemble earlier on, refrigerate as suggested, then pop in the oven when we were about to eat. I may have overcooked it slightly as we chatted and drank our wine, but we fought over every last piece anyway!

    Last night we had a wine & snack "dinner" with this as one of our snacks. So delish! We are having the rest with our roast today. Followed recipe except I added some garlic powder to the mixture. Will fix this a lot!!
