Delicious Baked Brie with Roasted Garlic

Hello everyone,

Julie emailed the recipe to me and asked me to post it for her. So here is the most wonderful cheese fondue recipe ever! Thank you Julie!

Baked Brie with Roasted Garlic

• 1 whole garlic bulb
• 1-1/2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed (I used only 1/2 tsp. dried and waited to add it into the bread bowl with cheese)
• 1 round loaf (1 pound) sourdough bread
• 1 round (8 ounces) Brie cheese
• 1 loaf (10-1/2 ounces) French bread baguette, sliced and toasted
• Red and green grapes

• Remove papery outer skin from garlic (do not peel or separate cloves). Cut top off bulb. Brush with 1-1/2 teaspoons oil; sprinkle with rosemary. Wrap in heavy-duty foil. Bake at 425° for 30-35 minutes or until softened.
• Meanwhile, cut the top fourth off the loaf of bread; carefully hollow out enough of the bottom of the bread so cheese will fit. Cube removed bread; set aside. Place cheese in bread.
• Cool garlic for 10-15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375°. Squeeze softened garlic into a bowl and mash with a fork; spread over cheese. Replace bread top; brush outside of bread with remaining oil. Wrap in heavy-duty foil.
• Bake for 45-50 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve with toasted baguette, grapes and reserved bread cubes. Yield: 8 servings.
