This was UNBELIEVABLE. It's not really a crowd-pleaser, but if you're up for interesting and unexpected food, then this is great! Wonderful combination of sweet and umami. We ate the leftovers up on bread as sandwiches.

We served this with baguette. The dates add a nice sweetness to the earthy mushrooms and caramelized onions. I think this needs some sort of crunch or nutty factor; maybe some sliced almonds (possibly toasted). Will experiment with that next time, but still a great appetizer the way it is.

Awesome! We did not care that the onion/mushroom/date mixture was oozing out between the cheese-we just loved this combination of sweet and savory flavors!

My guests RAVED about it, but I just thought it was good. Will add more contrasting flavors and textures next time, as well as more finely dice the mushrooms and dates, etc. so it's easier to eat. Definitely worth keeping and playing with the ingredients to suit individual tastes!

This was the hit of the New Years Eve party I attended. I doubled the recipe and used a Costco wheel of brie. I topped it with some candied pecans. Festive looking and excellent!

Absolutely the best use of brie I have ever had!!! Would give more stars if possible, but I do have to admit that the filling was a little more than one 8 oz. round of brie could handle and I split it into 2 rounds which was perfect. I also baked it at 350 for 15 minutes and it was perfectly melty. No leftovers at all ( was hoping for a little midnight snack. pfff)

Yummy and wonderfully rich and sweet! The grocery store was out of brie wheels so I used a large wedge, which was probably a lot messier when melted but still very delicious! Even people who didn't like brie were loving this. I served it with baguette slices and it worked out great! Mine definately wouldn't really work with crackers unless they were very large crackers. Wonderful!
