I came up with this amazing brunch one Saturday when I was out of eggs. I always start brunch with bacon (all of the very best meals are started with bacon, don’t they?) and didn’t realize I was out of eggs until I had already started cooking. Time to improvise! I had Brie that I hadn’t used yet… and some ripe fruit…. Oh yeah! This is gonna be good! I’ve never been so happy to run out of eggs!

Here is how I make Baked Brie Fruit Stacks…

Don’t ya just love it when you accidently stumble into an EPIC meal? This is another perfect example of one of my beautiful kitchen accidents. I think that this would be a surprising treat to serve at a brunch gathering or a bridal shower.

Preheat oven & fry bacon until crisp. While bacon is cooking, use mandolin to slice potatoes and apples into 1/4 inch slices. Slice mushrooms into thin slices. Cook potatoes in hot bacon grease for 4 minutes per side or until they are light golden brown, laying on a paper towel to soak up excess grease. Next, cook apples for 5 mins per side. Last, Sauté mushrooms & garlic for 5 minutes.

Cut cheese & avocado into 1/4 inch slices

Assemble the stacks on a cookie sheet in whatever combo you like. The combos I chose for the fruit were: Apple with Brie and bacon & Pear with Brie, bacon, and goat cheese. Both of these were stacked sandwich style with Brie next to each slice of the fruit so that the melted cheese held the stack together. I made open faced stacks with the potatoes. The combos I chose were: Sweet Potato with Brie, avocado, and bacon. Red potato with sharp cheddar, avocado, and bacon. Sweet potato with goat cheese, and bacon. Red potato with goat cheese, mushrooms, & bacon.
