Well it begin with the left over Tsaziki Sauce that I spread around the edge of the Brie Wheel. Then I had some crushed walnuts left over from a pan of Baklava without the spices. I place these on a dish and rolled the Brie in the crushed walnuts to cover the Tsaziki. I placed this wheel on a platter and topped it with a Tomato Bruschetta that I had left. I added Capers, Kalamata Olives and Feta….The finished product is this beautiful and delicious Mediterranean Brie Wheel. This is such a great variation from the traditional Brie in pastry.

Now remember you can buy a container of Tsaziki, a package of Crushed Walnuts and a good quality jarred Bruschetta. Then just add the feta, Capers an Kalamata Olives to the Bruschetta and you are good to go….

Here is the Recipe so you can make whip this up for the Holidays or any Occasion…this is really great at a Football party!
