Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2/3 cup olive oil (or flavored oil of your choice)
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1 bag mixed salad green, from grocer (also delicious with plain red leaf lettuce)
8 pieces triple cream brie, about 4 inches long and 1 inch wide at base (St.Andre is a very good brand)
toasted pecans (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Wisk together in a small bowl the oil of your choice,lemon juice and a little salt and pepper.
  • Let stand at least an hour at room temp.
  • If you use plain olive oil you may want to flavor to taste with a little garlic powder in the oil.
  • Preheat the oven to 350*.
  • Toss the dressing with the greens and divide among salad plates.
  • Arrange brie on the baking sheet and bake until soft but not runny.
  • You really need to stand there and keep an eye on it.
  • (about one minute) Top each salad with the wedge of cheese and toasted pecans.
  • A nice variation is a"fan" of thinly sliced pear on the plate.
