The trouble with cheese while pregs is contracting a disease called Listeria. To take the safe cheese measure one step beyond just making sure the cheeses were pasteurized, I decided to bake them too. Baking the cheese at high temperatures help to kill any bacteria that may be harmful.
I sliced up pieces of French bread and topped each with the brie and goat cheese. I topped a few pieces with brie cheese and the turkey slices, then I baked all of them for about 10-15 minutes (until the cheese bubbled) at about 375 degrees in the toaster over. Once they were done, I topped the goat cheese bites with homemade freezer raspberry jam my girlfriends and I made over the weekend, and the brie bites with dried pomegranate and cranberries. The result: a deliciously sweet and savory afternoon snack. Too bad I haven't braved sipping wine yet. Grape juice anyone?

A good story
GK Chesterton: “The poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese.”
Voila: www.tastingtoeternity.com. This book is a poetic view of 30 of the best loved French cheeses with an additional two odes to cheese. Recipes, wine pairing, three short stories and an educational section complete the book.
From a hectic life on Wall Street to the peace and glories of the French countryside lead me to be the co-founder of www.fromages.com. Ten years later with the words of Pierre Androuet hammering on my brain:
“Cheese is the soul of the soil. It is the purest and most romantic link between humans and the earth.”
I took pen and paper; many reams later with the midnight oil burning Tasting to Eternity was born and self published.
I believe cheese and wine lovers should be told about this publication.
Enjoy.
