It was interesting but next time I will not use Brie and I might just lay it on the plate and eat it with syrup as it was a bit unusual to say the least.
Both a hobby and therapy. Hope it's the same for you.
Nice catch Brian!
I'm with SY on that one, looks perfectly cooked.
Fotis -- looks very similar to a dish my Sicilian mother used to make. No surprise given the mixture of cultures going on there. (And I have fond memories thereof)
Cal -- a while ago I made brie and gruyere grilled cheeses with fresh tomato (and roasted pepper, IIRC) soup. A high-end take on a basic lunch faire. It was very good.
And, yes, cooking is definitely a quality-of-life improvement pursuit for me. Then you get to eat the results.

I would too.
I'd like to drink some of that blood.
Yes, I have done something similar, and you're right, you feel like a rich person eating it. Sounds like a candidate for a dried, smoked salmon crumble as a topper.
It's like killing your own baby but Mmm..those babies taste good.And, yes, cooking is definitely a quality-of-life improvement pursuit for me. Then you get to eat the results.
Try a carottes sautées.
(it's the French that gets them every single time, not the vegs & butter)
I've also done them as hors d'oeuvres with dried cranberry captured in the melted cheese. MMMMMMmmmmm
He loves haricots vert, it is funny kind of a non sequitur a dog spitting food right out.

Our Irish terrier doesn't even bother to spit, lets it drop out within a split second*, in particular raw carrots.
(*Bit of a double blind test, dogs can't tell orange apart. Sorta similar to me posting a carrot which can be construed as nasty. The response lag is often the most important confirmation, not the biting itself and/or spitting. Easy to compare to data of the regular eating pattern at this forum)

Odd that dogs will eat a cow pat but not a carrot! They are also skilled at removing the worming pill from the piece of bacon rind its inserted into!
The ecstasy of finding a dead seal on the beach and rolling in it is amazing to watch. It's like a bull fight stand a ways back and charge in again.
I reside adjacent to a preserved dune area with freewheeling Galloway cows, you should see the dung condos they leave.
We walk the mutt there a couple of times a week, some days are tactical evasive maneuvers, or should I say manurevers
I must have had an odd dog (as if I didn't know already) since she never showed any interest in cow dung but she loved eating raw carrots as well as water melon, banana and most of all nuts which she cracked herself.
Never touched dry dog food though, she'd eat only tinned preferably with pasta.
Spring two years ago had planted my garden and found that something was eating my cabbage sets. I figured I had rabbits. One morning I had let my Yorkshire Terrier (Gizmo) out and he didn't come right back when I called him so I went to see where he was.
I found him on the far end of the garden chowing down on a cabbage set. He ate it almost down to the ground.
He would eat cooked carrots but not raw ones. He also ate raw broccoli, kale, cabbage, potato peels, and pretty much anything else I gave him.
