Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 medium hot baked potatoes (Idahoes or russets are good)
3 ounces brie cheese, cut into 1 inch cubes
4 tablespoons butter or 4 tablespoons margarine, room temperature
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon minced chives or 1 tablespoon green onion top, to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
ground nutmeg, to taste (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375*F.
  • Slice 1/2 inch lengthwise off each potato.
  • Taking care not to pierce the skin, scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1/4 inch thick shell.
  • In a medium size bowl, mash the potato flesh until smooth.
  • Add the Brie, butter, egg yolk, chives, salt, pepper, and nutmeg,if desired; mix well.
  • Stuff each potato shell with the mixture, mounding it in the center; transfer to a shallow baking dish.
  • *At this point the potatoes can be stored.
  • Refrigerate, tightly covered, for up to 24 hours.
  • *.
  • Bake the potatoes, uncovered, until the cheese has melted and the stuffing is heated through-12 to 15 minutes.
  • Run under the broiler, five inches from the flame, until lightly browned- 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Serve as a side dish with steak, roasts, poultry, or broiled fish, or as a light luncheon dish, with a nice salad.
  • Serves 4 as an entree, 8 as a side dish.
  • Enjoy!
