When we were in farmers’ markets, one of the most common questions from customers was, “Have you ever tried pepper jelly on cream cheese?” I would stifle a grin and say, “Yes, one or two times.” To be honest, it’s not my favorite. I prefer the jellies with either hard cheeses or this delectable concoction! But to each his or her own. I will not argue!
This dish is easy enough for an indulgent weekday nosh for the family or elegant enough for a fancy dinner party. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 1 8 oz. wheel brie cheese
- 1/4 cup MRS.G'S Peach Habanero (or any flavor you like)

- Crackers (recommend a neutral flavor and sturdy cracker)
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 6
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 220 degrees.
- Carefully trim the top rind off of the brie to expose the cheese underneath.
- Spread the pepper jelly evenly on the top of the brie and place in a pie tin for about 10 minutes, or until it is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with the almonds and enjoy with crackers!
