Ingredients

  • 1 round of Brie

  • 2 garlic bulbs (large! )

  • 1 loaf French bread

  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon Pepper

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 bunch Fresh chives (or favourite fresh herb for garnish)

Directions

  • Set oven or smoker to 350F.
  • Cut 1/4 inch off the top of the bulb and strip away outer layers of skin.
  • Sprinkle bulb tops with oil, salt, and pepper. Place garlic on grill for initial 15 minutes.
  • Place brie on a layer of foil or pie pan and smoke for another 30 minutes alongside garlic.
  • Scoop cheese out of wax, into a bowl.
  • Crush garlic over brie and serve on sliced french bread.

Notes

  • Personally, I add all the cheese rind.
  • For seasonal appetizers, add a glop of cranberry sauce on top of the brie.
  • Great with a loaf of crusty bread.
