If youd like to use fresh ones, use a 1/4 cup of each.

If youre willing to shell out the extra bucks for the brie like the original recipe calls for, you can replace a half cup of it for the whipping cream.
12
Also, I used garlic salt to be quick, but fresh garlic and some sea salt would work well.
