Andouille Baked Brie
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound andouille smoked sausage, casings removed, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small bunch green onions, chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 6 to 8-inch wheel Brie cheese, chilled
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place andouille in a large saute pan over medium-high heat; drizzle with olive oil (this will help start the cooking process). Cook, stirring frequently, until browned, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add green onions, jalapenos and garlic. Cook until tender, about 5 additional minutes. Remove from heat and stir in rosemary and thyme. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Remove Brie from refrigerator; slice in half horizontally (like a muffuletta loaf). Spread half of the andouille mixture over the bottom of the Brie. Cover with other half. Spoon remaining andouille mixture on top of Brie. Bake until cheese is soft and starts to ooze, 5-7 minutes. Serve warm with crusty French bread or crackers. Serves 6-8.
