Easy Appetizer: Poor Man’s Brie

Are you ready to make one of the easiest appetizers you’ve ever done before and get rave reviews on it?  I’m telling you, every time I make Poor Man’s Brie people ask for the recipe and then can’t believe how simple it is!  Not to mention, it’s cheap to make….as if you couldn’t tell from the title.  I made this a few weeks ago for a neighbor’s going away part and that’s what this picture is from, I also have made it for showers, small group gatherings, etc.
Poor Man’s Brie:
1 large pkg of crescent rolls (you know me…I used reduced fat)
cheddar cheese (again, reduced fat….you can use sliced cheese, shredded, seriously…it doesn’t matter)
1 block of cream cheese (RF)


Lay out half of the crescent rolls flat.
Put a layer of cheddar cheese on top of crescent rolls.
Top this with the block of cream cheese.
Add another layer of cheddar cheese on the cream cheese.
Add the other half of crescent rolls on top.  Put some spices on top of this like oregano, basil, or mixed up salt….just something to add a little kick.  Bake according to crescent roll package directions. Serve immediately w crackers.


See how easy that is!  Don’t you love easy, cheap and good recipes?!  I’m telling you I’m becoming a master of these type recipes….you know domestically challenged diva over here needs easy!
