Brie Nutella Rolls | The perfect combination of savory and sweet all in one little roll
So do you want to hear kind of a funny pet peeve of bloggers? (And yes, I’m speaking for 100% of all bloggers right now, because I know every single one of them.) When we hear someone say “Oh! I found the greatest recipe/idea/craft/etc on Pinterest!” Because as amazing as Pinterest is, it’s not a self sustaining entity. Most amazing recipes/ideas/crafts/etc . . . they come from bloggers!
Okay. Here’s the funny part. We do it too! (Again, I’m speaking for every single blogger there is or ever was.)
I have been totally known to say, “Pinterest just loooooves sugar!” or “I would do more crafts, but I don’t think that Pinterest is going to love it as much as my S’mores Fudge,” or “Those Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake Cookies went nuts on Pinterest.” As if there aren’t hundreds of thousands of catrillions of amazing Pinterest users who are pinning my posts and helping drive traffic to my blog.
By the way,
Thanks!!
So, I’m about to do it again.
During Valentine’s season, Pinterest looooooves Red Velvet. Pinterest eats it up and can’t get enough of it, with it’s sweet deep red strange flavor. As I mentioned when I made my Red Velvet Bread Pudding (which Pinterest devoured) . . . . I’m not a huge red velvet fan.
No, to me, Valentine’s Day equals Nutella. I’m not 100% sure why. Maybe because of his chocolatey richness or the fact that I could eat it by the spoonful pretty much everyday of the year. But there is something particular about Valentine’s Day that really makes me crave Nutella. Probably this post for Nutella Ganache explains it best.
So I’ve had Nutella on the brain lately. And when I asked on my Facebook page the other day what your favorite way to eat Nutella is, one of my amazing Facebook friends said in a crepe with Brie! Ummmmm . . . say what now??? That is just pure genius.
So FULL credit for this recipe goes out to that Facebook friend. It is simple, it is easy, it is perfectly delicious. And if you happen to be married to a really pregnant woman {cough} who spends most of her days chasing a toddler who claims that she hasn’t “pooted” but most certainly has pooted . . . then you are going to want to make a big plateful of these and surprise her with breakfast in bed on Valentine’s Day.
It’s the perfect non Red Velvet way to say I love you.

You know, I’m German living in the US, and about to turn 40. Ever since I was a teenager I’ve been telling people that Nutella and camembert taste amazing together. Nobody ever believed me. Now I’m so thrilled that I’m not the only one who discovered that (I personally prefer camembert over brie). Now I can show everyone that I’m not crazy! :)
I’m going to have to try the crescent roll variation. I’ve always put them on Broetchen.
Thank you so much, you made my day, week, month and year!
