Take for example this Brie and Apple Pizza from 1837 Cobblestone Cottage Bed & Breakfast in Canandaigua, NY, an inn beloved for its full three-course breakfasts and located in the state’s celebrated Finger Lakes wine region. While we love pizzas with cheese, tomatoes, and plenty of special toppings for lunch or dinner, when brie and apple come together as a savory breakfast dish – it’s a great way to start any day.
Of course, if you want something simple, pastry-wrapped brie is a fine appetizer.
