Purchased from the Inman Estate in Mineral Wells, Texas in 1990. Notation on card indicates this was picked up from a caterer in 1966. My catering friend serves this on a regular basis and gets rave reviews.

- Lightly dust the with salt and pepper.
- In a saucepan melt butter and lightly caramelize the shallots under medium-low heat, then add the remaining brie and heavy cream.
- Add salt and pepper and be careful not to boil the cream.
- Whisk for a smooth consistency until the brie is melted.
