even if you don't like brie, you will love this melty, buttery, delicious treat!

Ingredients

1 Wedge or round of brie cheese (triple cream Brie is the best)

1 Round loaf of bread

1/4-1/2 cup Butter or margerine, softened

1-2 tsp Garlic salt, to taste

Preparation

1. Slice off the top 1/4 of the loaf of round bread and set aside. In the larger part, cut out enough bread for your piece of Brie to fit into (like a puzzle!).

2. Mix garlic salt with softened butter or margerine and spread on bread bowl and top 1/4 slice of bread (this will be the "lid" to your bowl).

3. Cut rind off Brie (optional) and place in bread bowl.

4. Put bread bowl and "lid" (butter side up) on cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, or until cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

5. Dip bread into the cheese and eat! Tear off pieces of the bread bowl (they get more buttery and yummy as you get closer to the center, of course!

Cook's Notes

People who say they don't like brie really do love this recipe! I make it for special occasions, though, as it is obviously not a low-calorie dish :).
