Brie Cheese With Roasted Garlic-Paprika Filling (Tapas)

1. 1

   Remove brie from refrigerator and packaging and allow to warm to room temperature.

2. 2

   Roast one head garlic whole at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes. Use only half the garlic for the recipe.

3. 3

   Squeeze garlic from the skins into a small mixing bowl. Place paprika in bowl and measure in the sherry. Smash the garlic with a fork, mixing together until a paste is formed. Add olive oil and mix.

4. 4

   Once the brie is at room temperature, cut in half horizontally as if you were making a two-layer cake. Place on a sheet of aluminum foil. Remove top and spread roasted garlic-paprika mixture on lower half, like frosting. Replace the top of cheese and wrap the entire brie wheel in aluminum foil and place in hot oven for 15 minutes.

5. 5

   Remove from oven when brie is soft and allow to cool a few minutes. Cut baguette into thin slices. Cut small slices of brie and place on top of sliced bread to serve.

6. 6

   Note: Brie will be slippery and may be difficult to slice if too warm. If you prefer, cut the brie in half and serve on a plate with a small knife, allowing your guests to spread warm brie on slices of bread.
