- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped onions 125 mL
- 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts 50 mL
- 1 large clove garlic, sliced 1
- 1/2 tsp Each dried thyme, rosemary and pepper 2 mL
- 1 tbsp olive oil 15 mL
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar 15 mL
- 1 (200g) wheel cold Brie cheese 1

Instructions
- Finely chop mushrooms, onions, walnuts and garlic, thyme, rosemary and pepper in food processor.
- Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir mushroom mixture for 5-7 minutes or until all liquid has evaporated. Stir in vinegar and cook 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature; cover and chill.
- At serving time slice the wheel of Brie in half horizontally and place cut side up on oven -proof serving plate or baking pan. Spoon the topping evenly on cut surfaces of Brie.
