Ingredients
- 1 wheel (8 oz) round brie cheese
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 loaf baguette
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Place the red and yellow bell peppers on a baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes, turning halfway through, until the skin is charred and blistered.
Step 3
Remove the roasted peppers from the oven and place them in a bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let them steam for 10 minutes.
Step 4
Peel the skin off the cooled peppers, remove the stem and seeds, and slice into thin strips.
Step 5
Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
Step 6
Unwrap the brie and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and starting to melt but still holds its shape.
Step 7
While the brie is baking, combine the roasted pepper strips, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Gently toss to coat.
Step 8
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch slices and toast lightly, if desired.
Step 9
Place the baked brie on a serving plate. Spoon the roasted pepper mixture over the top.
Step 10
Garnish the dish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately with slices of baguette.
