Cedar planked camembert (brie)

[atomicsmoke]

I have a decent stash of dried porcini...worth its weight in gold.

Cooked them in boiling water for a few minutes until all water evaporated.

Saute some garlic in olive oil.

When fragrant I added the porcini and some roasted red shepperd pepper I had in the freezer.

The "rim " had two cracks ...which caused the "collapse".

I am lucky my family is very indulgent and the poor presentation didn't detract from the great flavours.

Looks awesome a.s. I'd be all over that, looks very tasty ! Nice job ! Thumbs Up

Thank you WaterinHolebrew. It went nicely with some crusty bread and Douro wine. It was meant as an appetizer, but we had to push back supper after polishing off the cheese.

You had me at Camembert. My wife is currently giving me "the look", as in "get your arse to the store and get whatever we need to make that".

Thank you so much for sharing, that one's definitely going on the to-do list. And SOON!!

Mdboatbum,
I know people who don't eat (like) Camembert. I never met a person who won't eat baked/smoked/planked Camembert. You cannot resist gooey goodness mixed with whatever toppings your heart desires: berries based "salsa" also works.

I forgot one important ingredient- balsamic vinegar. Splashed at the end on the mushroom mixture.

I bet this would be good with cepes mushrooms as well...

;)

Brilliant. Few variations in toppings come to mind but nothing to far away from where you started.
I could eat that any chance I got.

Porcini=cepes :-)

You are quite right. Endless possibilities: Sweet vs savory, vegs vs meat, hot vs mild. The wood can also be something else than cedar.

No more square peg round hole for me. They finally invented the rectangular shape brie.
