BAKED GARLIC WITH BRIE CHEESE

Category: Cheese

2 garlic bulbs; whole
12 oz Brie cheese, room temperature
Cocktail bread, crispbread
French bread; sliced 1/2 inch thick
6 oz Jar roasted red peppers; well drained; cut into small; narrow strips

Preheat oven to 375. Remove some of the outer layers from garlic, but leave bulbs intact. Place on a baking sheet and bake for about 40-50 minutes or until cloves are soft. Test with a toothpick or skewer. To serve, gently separate the cloves and arrange on a serving plate. Place the Brie on a larger plate, surrounded by the bread of your choice. Place red pepper strips in a small bowl and provide a small fork. Each guest should spread Brie on a piece of bread with a spreading knife, squeeze a garlic clove directly on to it, then top it with a strip or two of red pepper. You might prepare a few at first as examples.
