ROASTED GARLIC, BRIE & BLACK OLIVE PATE

Roasted Garlic, Brie & Black Olive Pate image

My source for this great recipe is homecooking.about.com. Their intro was brief & to the point ... "If you love tapenade, you will love this olive pate flavored w/roasted garlic & Brie or Fontina cheese. SPEC NOTE: Altho described only as a pate, an amazing feature of this recipe is its expanded uses. I have used this full of flavor mixture to stuff meat entrees, eggplant rollups & twice baked potatoes. Carmelized onions &/or mushrooms make a good addition to it for certain uses. Your only limit is your imagination.
