Baked Jalapeño Brie Cheese | Plant-Based

​Brie Cheese is made vegan and spiced up with jalapeños and garlic, it’s further baked making the queen of cheeses shine forth. 

We can give a special thank you to my sweet husband for suggesting the addition of jalapeños and baking this! I felt garlic would naturally go well. These are optional and you can certainly enjoy it as Brie Cheese and mix and match as your heart desires. This recipe has been adapted from my cookbook, instead of fermenting and dehydrating, a couple extra ingredients are added and it's baked. It's next level. That's all I gotta say. You have to try this!!!! Let me know what you think and tag #artisticvegan so I can see.
