Wrapped Brie with Tomato Chutney

Wrapped brie with tomato chutney is probably the most glorious food I’ve had in a while.

Imagine this at your Easter table. This my not be a tradition Easter recipe, but why not switch things up a bit. You can’t live on ham and deviled eggs alone.  I am sure everyone will be super impressed.

Not only is it beautiful, but the flavors are amazing. I would have no problem eating the entire dish by myself. It’s no secrete that I have will power issues.[rss-cut]
