Brie and bread

So, my friend is getting ready to move and we had to clean out her fridge. What did we find? Two kinds of brie cheese, a DELICIOUS cheese that is a white cheddar with apricots in it. (I know sounds weird but it was yummmy.) Well that was in addition to the cheddars, and mozzerellas. We decided on brie for breakfast.
We went to the store to buy sourdough french bread. There wasn't any. So, I bought 2 artizan baguettes, and a regular french loaf. One was an artizan sourdough baguette with sea salt on top. The second was also sourdough but it was everything style. Like an everything bagel.
Here is what to do. I am sure lots of people to this, and I am sure it is really common in France and Europe, but, I had never seen it before.
heat oven to 350
slice the bread. if you slice it on an angle you get a bigger slice. lay them out on PARCHMENT PAPER or that neat non stick foil.
slice the brie. we used standard brie, and this wonderful herb coated brie, covered in basil.
lay the slices on the bread...(duh...)
place in the oven to melt the cheese. 10 minutes at the most.
then eat. I think doing it with more than one kind of bread and more than one kind of cheese is the best. because then you get to have a different taste each time.
NOW. this was delicious on it's own. But in my world I think some oven broiled sausages would be a great addition.
Ok so this might not be the healthiest of breakfasts, but it is probably still healthier that going to Denny's. Plus it will definitely taste better than anything you can get at a Denny's

Beer Glazed Chicken

Yep. I said BEER GLAZED CHICKEN. I will share the fabulousness of it with you.
2 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, and butterflied
2 tbs olive oil
2 tbs lemon juice
1/2 bottle good IPA beer. Don't cook with it if you won't drink it. curious phrase, because I don't really love an IPA, but this was a yummy dinner.
garlic powder, lemon pepper, salt, mrs. dash, fresh ground pepper.
Season the butterflied chicken with lemon pepper, mrs. dash, salt and garlic powder.
Brown the chicken breasts in a pan over medium high in heated oil. about 4-5 minutes per side.
Pour on 1/2 a bottle of beer. Cover and simmer 5-8 minutes. Chicken should feel firm.
Remove chicken, and cover with foil.
Whisk about 1 tbs of olive oil into the beer in the pan. Whisk in lemon juice and reduce by about 1/2. finish with salt and fresh ground pepper.
Drizzle over chicken and serve.
Seriously YUMMMY.
Reducing the beer takes the bitter Beer taste out of it.
