Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 large sweet potatoes, long and skinny
  • 4-6 oz. PRÉSIDENT® Brie Log
  • ⅓ cup chopped walnuts
  • 2 teaspoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2-3 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt to taste*

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  2. Peel your sweet potatoes. Cut each into rounds that are approximately ½ - ¾" thick. You want about 16 rounds.
  3. Lay your sweet potato rounds onto a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season well with salt and freshly cracked pepper.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes on the middle rack flipping halfway through. They are ready when they are fork tender. (Not mushy!)
  5. While waiting for your sweet potatoes, cut your brie cheese log into ¼-½" thick rounds.
  6. Add your walnuts, honey and cinnamon to a small bowl and mix.
  7. Remove your sweet potatoes from the oven when they're done and immediately add a slice of brie to the top of each round. You want the residual heat to slightly melt the brie.
  8. Top the brie with your walnut mixture and serve warm.

Notes

If you cannot find Président® Brie cheese LOG, you can use their brie wedge.
