¼ cups Flat-leaf Parsley, Chopped

4 whole (to 5) Green Onions, Sliced (up To Middle Of Dark Green Part)

In the same saucepan (without cleaning it), throw in garlic, parsley, and green onions. Sprinkle very lightly with salt and splash in wine, if using. Stir around until wine evaporates, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.

Cut rind off of brie wedge, then cut pieces of brie to fit each mushroom cap. Place inside, lightly pressing to anchor each piece of brie.

Place into the oven for 15 minutes, or until brie is melted.

Note: mushrooms are best when they’ve been allowed to cool slightly. Delicious
