A Dip of Three Cheeses
Dates, brandy, and brie elevate this cheese dip to party status. If you were to argue that the words “elegant” and “dip” can’t live side-by-side in harmony, well…you’d be wrong. I love the funk the brie rind brings to the party, so I never remove it. You can of course, but you’ll need even more cheese to make up the total amount.This recipe first appeared on altonbrown.com.
