PESTO AND BRIE CANAPES
Try to locate a wedge of Brie that comes from the Brie region of France for these great canapés from Word of Mouth in New York City. If the Brie is labeled "Appellation d'Origine Controlee" such as Brie de Meaux it is a quality Brie that tastes nothing like grocery store brie. Rouge et Noir Triple Cream Brie is an excellent alternative to French Brie that is sold in most larger grocery chains. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Set oven to 350 degrees. Spread pine nuts evenly on a baking sheet and toast until they turn golden, about 5-6 minutes; occasionally shake the pan while they are baking. Coarsely chop the pine nuts and set aside.
- Mix the sun-dried tomatoes with the garlic, Parmesan, olive oil, parsley, basil and pepper in a small mixing bowl.
- Toast the baguette rounds at this point if you want a crispier bottom. They can be served either way - fresh or toasted.
- Place the Brie in a medium mixing bowl and energetically beat until smooth. Spread about a teaspoon of Brie on each baguette slice, top with 1/2 teaspoon pesto, add pine nuts and serve.

Steps:
- Line a small shallow dish or bowl with plastic wrap or waxed paper. Coat wrap with vegetable spray. Arrange a pattern in bottom of the dish using the sun-dried tomatoes and basil. Add 1 1/2 tubs of garlic and herb cheese (about half a pound) to the dish and smooth over, then layer in the sun-dried tomato spread and the pesto. Spread the remaining cheese on top of the pesto. Place a serving plate over the bowl and invert the bowl. Hold on to the edges of the waxed paper or wrap to release the cheese. Remove the waxed paper or plastic wrap. Arrange the sliced baguette along 1 side of the torta.
- Arrange carrots and tomatoes along the opposite side of the torta.
PESTO TORTE
This fabulous torte can be made without the sun-dried tomatoes. The combination of cream cheese and pesto is mouth-watering. The original recipe comes from Ann Hodgman's Beat This cookbook. I reduced the amount of butter used, and I like to make it in a loaf pan rather than custard cups! You can use basil or artichoke pesto, and I often use dry packed tomatoes but reduce the quantity by half.

- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unfold puff pastry and lay on a lightly floured surface. Pinch together the seams where the dough was folded and roll the dough about 1" longer in each direction.
- Transfer dough to the center of the parchment lined baking sheet. Unwrap brie and place on the center of the dough. Spoon pesto onto the center of the brie, spreading within about ½" of the edge. Sprinkle with pine nuts or pecans. Be sure the nuts stay on top of the pesto. If they fall down the side they may poke holes in the dough and create a leak.
- Brush dough lightly with beaten egg, then gather the dough up around the cheese and press it together at the top to form a pouch or beggar’s purse. Arrange the top of the pastry into a ruffle and trim any excess dough from areas where it feels particularly thick. Ensure that all edges are sealed.
- Brush the entire exterior of the pastry with remaining beaten egg then bake 30–35 minutes until the crust is dark golden brown, rotating if necessary for even browning.
