It starts with a homemade pizza crust filled panzarotti style with parmigiano reggiano, fresh mozzarella, ricotta, parsley, ham, italian sausage, prosciutto, egg, salt and pepper! It can be served warm or cold. It is amazing!!! I love this italian loave that has been passed down my family for generations.

I use a crock-pot little dipper to heat a round of brie in, top it with a healthy amount of fig preserves and turn it on about 15 minutes before guests are ready to dig in. I offer an assortment of crackers or hearty bread pieces. Just make sure you turn off the pot before the cheese gets too bubbly. It's my favorite because, with everything else going on, it's one thing I can just plug in and leave. I can then concentrate on fixing the rest of the holiday dinner, or actually enjoy spending time with my guests. If you're serving a large crown and one round of brie isn't enough, then buy two and layer them in the little dipper with the fig preserves.

I use a mini crockpot and leave it out on the counter throughout the day so everyone can help themselves whenever they want. First put in a wheel of Brie, then spoon apricot preserves over the top. Leave a plate of crackers and a butter knife close by for serving. If you want to make it a bit more complicated, add some roasted garlic cloves to the pot. this one is my favorite because it’s so simple.

Sour cream, cream cheese, seasonings, minced onion, small shrimp cut into 2-3 pieces, a few shakes of hot sauce, and horseradish. It can get hotter the next day so I don't put much hot sauce in it. I used to make a triple batch for Super Bowl too. An assortment of crackers are nice, but my late husband just used soda crackers. It is a variation on a shrimp dip we had many years ago in Charleston, SC on vacation. The best appetizer is shrimp dip.

This stuff is better than crack! Bowl must be strategically placed in the family room or as far from the kitchen as possible. It's the only thing that works to lure people out of the kitchen so I can actually finish making Christmas dinner. I swear- it's like hearding sheep in my family. But always very entertaining to see them all fight over the bread bowl carcass once we're out of chopped bread pieces! Definetly a Kodak moment! Baked brie in a sourdough bowl.
