Kicked-Up Savory Brie in Boule image

A spicy twist to brie! This recipe begs for tweaking - add more or different spices, maybe even jalapenos, or whatever your imagination comes up with. This is a nice appetizer for any time of the year, but seems to be a nice addition to a party or buffet particularly during the holidays.

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 teaspoon chili powder (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried chipotle powder (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 loaf round sourdough loaf (1 pound)
1 tablespoon softened butter
1 (8 ounce) wheel brie cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
  • Combine spices and sugar and set aside.
  • Cut off circular top of bread and remove the bread center to make a shell, leaving chunks intact for dipping later (but don't scrape the bread shell too thin).
  • Thinly spread butter inside the bread shell and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of spice mixture.
  • With knife, make 2-inch cuts around edge of bread at 1-inch intervals to make a"fringe".
  • Remove rind from Brie and cut into irregular chunks, and place in bread.
  • Sprinkle Brie with remaining spice, tossing lightly to distribute.
  • Replace top of bread.
  • Bake on baking sheet in 350 degrees F oven 20-30 minutes.
  • To serve, remove bread top and break into bite size pieces.
  • Dip leftover bread pieces in hot Brie.
