How to roast strawberries with brie
Here’s what you need for this amazing recipe:
- Brie cheese
- Strawberries
- Olive oil
- Maple Syrup
- Kosher Salt
- Crackers
A few years back I visited Brevard, NC with a few blogging friends. Blogging friends are the kind of friendships that I never really had a category for.
When I left my job in dialysis about 11 years ago (27 years in this field), never did I realize how rich my life would become. Rich, as in I’ve met some of the most amazing, smart, fun, wise women through blogging, many whom I’ve been able to spend a lot of time with through traveling.
Many of my friends have been to my home in Oregon, and I’ve been lucky enough to visit a few of their homes. Most recently, a few of us gathered at Amy’s mountain home in the gorgeous hills of Brevard. What a treat!
Yes, we talk blogging when we’re together, ways to improve our businesses, but our friendships are way deeper than that. We talk family, because we are family!
The closer you get to people in your life, the more intimate and beautiful those friendships become. It’s one of those gifts that keep getting better with time.
Brevard, North Carolina
So, along with laughs, cooking together, shopping (such a cute town!), and Amy turning me on to Hammered Aluminum (do you have any of these pieces?), one of the favorite shops down the street from her home was Mud Dabber’s Pottery of Brevard. (Above: Kristen, me, Amy, Cheryl.)
Buy a pottery Brie Baker!
Seriously, the cutest pottery store, where I picked up my first, ever, Brie Baker!
Do you own a Brie Baker?
What did I ever do without one of these little beauties? Since I cook a lot with Brie, I feel like I’ve hit the jackpot, especially how the brie bakes to a toasty brown!
You can buy small wheels of Brie that fit perfectly into the baker.
Strawberries & Brie Appetizer
This time I roasted strawberries, which I’ve done several times for appetizers on my blog, with maple syrup, oil, and salt.
When it comes out of the oven, all bubbly and hot, cut the top off, creating a “lid,” which is pretty slick!
Fill the Brie with the hot, roasted strawberries.
Put the lid back on, and serve!
Or, leave the lid off and serve! Delicious.
Now, the only thing missing when I served this lovely appetizer the other night … were my 3 precious blogging friends!
This is for you, Amy, Kristen, and Cheryl! Cheers to our lovely time in Brevard, NC!

I love strawberries so much that my birthday cake every year has to have fresh whole strawberries on top of the cake, as well as in the middle. Now, I have several tasty ways to enjoy this awesome fruit.
