Brie cheese encased in a delicate puff pastry and baked until melted is one of the world's easiest yet tastiest appetizers! In this recipe the brie is topped with fresh strawberries and jam with fresh herbs, surrounded in pastry, and drizzled with Grand Marnier. Wonderful! Enjoy with slices of crusty baguette or crackers and a nice bottle of wine or champagne!
