Did you know it's Easter this Sunday? Because I didn't! Granted I don't even know what day it is, they all just seem to be blurring together during this quarantine. Speaking of which, probably not too many big family gatherings for this year's holiday but not to worry! Chilling at home with a significant other or even just by your fabulous self? I got a few Easter friendly recipes for you ๐๐ป. First up, lemon curd herbed baked brie appetizer!
Lemon curd and....herbs? On top of brie? Before you run away, just trust. It's delicious. A little bit sweet and a little bit savory.
Honestly though, can you really go wrong with a puff pastry covered brie baked to melty perfection on the inside and golden crispiness on the outside?
...
Nope.
So. Lemon curd herbed baked brie. Sounds crazy right? Allow me to enlighten you.

I straight just ate this with a french baguette and some salami the other night for dinner with sliced cucumbers on the side to feel more healthy (they sat forgotten).

Delicious! I served this at a recent party and it was a big hit! I was skeptical of the lemon curd with the brie, but the herbs really brought out the flavors and complimented the brie. I served it with apple slices and baguette with a small dish of lemon curd on the side. I can't wait to make it again.
