• ginger preserved in syrup
• 100 g toasted walnuts, coarsely chopped basil leaves for garnishing
• 1 x 200 g packet of Bakers Wheatsworth Crackers

Directions:
Slice the brie cheese through the middle to form two round disks. Mix together the cream cheese, blue cheese, parsley and spring onion.

Garnish with the basil leaves and arrange the Bakers Wheatsworth Crackers around the cheese.
