Honey-ish and Sriracha-ish Melted Brie Delight

Author Notes

This is an appetizer that never ceases to please my guests. The original recipe which came to me from my sister-in-law uses honey and almonds; but I then decided to “spicy it up” by using sriracha sauce and even skipping the almonds for some herbs. Although the original recipe says that a disadvantage of the recipe is that it must be served immediately, I find that this dish is excellent whether coming out straight from the oven or starting to cool. My guests and I love to eat it with water crackers or slices of French baguette or any other country bread of your choice. The combination of honey and sriracha is wonderful and gives a sweet-spicy kick to the melted brie. I then sprinkle some chopped chives on top prior to serving; but you can skip it or replace it with chopped cilantro, scallions, parsley, basil, or even chopped sundried tomatoes. To those that do not like hot/spicy food, just skip the sriracha and/or replace with i.e. ketchup. —Regine
