Easy Peasy Appetizers

These appetizers look gorgeous and taste delicious, but take only minutes to make.  Enjoy at them at your next gathering.

An Elegant Brie Cheese Presentation that is Accented with Fig Spread 

This is perfect for wine tasting gatherings and those times when you asked to bring an appetizer to share.
The beauty of is that it looks so elegant,  but it takes less than five minutes to assemble.  I confess that I have assembled it sitting in my car right outside of the event the dish was destined for.

Two or Three Ingredients
This region grows sumptuous figs
  1. A wedge of Brie cheese.
  2. Jar of Dalmatia Imports Fig Spread or Dalmatia Orange Fig Spread 
  3. If you wish, you may add a cluster or two of washed seedless grapes.   
Assembly Instructions

Unwrap the wedge of brie and place on serving platter that has a bit of a rim on it.  I have a round ceramic flan dish that I use.  

Next, spoon about half of the jar of the fig spread over the end of the wedge almost to the tip. I like keeping the tip of the wedge uncovered for presentation's sake.  

Add crackers around the inside perimeter. If you want to be adventuresome, buy peppered water crackers to add more savory to the sweet. If you wish to add grapes, plop them down between the wedge and the crackers.

You are done. Go and enjoy the party.
