Boozy (or not) Brie for the Adults
Enjoy a sophisticated bite to eat with some boozy brie made on the campfire. Don't drink? Make a non-alcoholic version instead!
Servings: 2 very hungry people
Equipment
- heavy-duty aluminum foil
- parchment paper
- Cutting board and knife
- Heat Resistant Gloves
Ingredients
- 8 oz wheel of brie
- 1-2 tbsp alcohol of choice brandy, cognac, sherry, etc.
- 1 loaf fresh baguette optional
- 1 sleeve crackers optional
- fresh veggies optional
Instructions
- Start your campfire or heat up your grill so that your heat source is ready. If using wood or charcoal, let the flames die out prior to cooking your food.
- Cut one large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil large enough to completely wrap your brie in a bundle.
- Poke holes across the surface of the brie.
- (Optional) Drizzle 1-2 tablespoons of alcohol of choice across the surface of the brie.
- Fold the long sides together and form a seam. Then roll the short sides up to form additional seams.
- Place your foil packets over heat for 10 minutes, then rotate and cook 10 minutes more.
- Carefully pull the packets off and open them. Check to see if the cheese has melted to your preference. If not, replace for another 5 minutes and check again. If it has, remove from the heat and allow to cool for a minute or two.
- Serve with baguette slices, assorted crackers, and/or fresh veggies.
Notes
Note: You can make this dish indoors by preparing the cheese for cooking as outlined above, then placing the foil packet on a baking sheet inside a 400°F oven for about 20 minutes.
