Source of Recipe
From "The Food of Portugal" by Jean Anderson
List of Ingredients
- 1 whole head of garlic
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 lb. brie cheese
Instructions
- Wrap the garlic in a piece of foil and bake in a preheated 300-degree oven for 1 hour. Let cool slightly and press the softened garlic out of the skins into a food processor. Puree with the olive oil and cayenne pepper.
- Remove the rind from the brie cheese with a sharp knife. Put the cheese into the top of a double boiler and place over hot water to soften. Do not let the water boil or the cheese will become stringy.
