To Make a Brie Skull
Use a small wheel of brie and cut wedges out of the sides of the bottom third of the cheese. Between the cut bottoms, use the tip of your knife to make four vertical slices in the brie, to resemble teeth. Dollop two small spoon fulls of fig jam for eye sockets and two smaller dollops for nose holes.
