(from shawn’s recipe box)

If you are serving bread with this warm cheese, place slices on the same baking sheet with the Brie. They will toast while the cheese cooks.

Ingredients

  • * 1 (8-oz.) Brie round
  • * 1/4 cup ginger preserves*
  • * 1 tablespoon honey
  • * 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • * 1 1/2 teaspoons orange zest
  • * 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • * 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • * 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • * Assorted crackers, fresh fruit

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°. Trim and discard rind from top of Brie. Place Brie on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until cheese is just melted.

  2. Meanwhile, microwave ginger preserves and next 6 ingredients in a small microwave-safe glass bowl at HIGH 30 seconds; stir until blended and smooth. Microwave at HIGH 1 minute. Let stand while cheese bakes.

  3. Transfer Brie to a serving dish; drizzle warm glaze immediately over Brie. Serve with assorted crackers and fresh fruit.

  4. *1/4 cup fig preserves maybe substituted.

  5. Note: For testing purposes only, we used Dundee Ginger Preserve.

  6. Party Tip: Place the Brie directly on an oven-safe serving plate, and bake as directed. The hot plate will keep the cheese warm and gooey longer.
