I love cheese, but after a few experiences I have learned that I am not really a fan of what I would call “strong cheeses”. Bleu cheese. Goat cheese. Gouda. You name it, I don’t really like it. But I’m always willing to give everything a chance. One chance.
So, my point is, if you don’t like brie, then just leave it out because the recipe is great without it, and if you do like brie, then put it in because the recipe is probably great with it too.
