Jalapeno Baked Brie

Submitted by Vino Girl

"A totally different baked brie! This is so easy to make and tastes so good, I could eat it all by myself. (But since everyone else seems to like it, I do share.) I usually keep the ingredients for this on hand (there's only 4!) so I can make this on a moment's notice. I serve it on a round platter with crackers surrounding it. Although the recipe calls for green pepper sauce, you can use whatever kind you like. I usually use one of the A**-Kicking Brand ones, for some real heat! I like to save just a little bit of the dough, which I cut with an appropriate cookie cutter (i.e. angels for Christmas, stars for 4th of July, etc.). I use this to cover the seam of the dough, which serves to both seal the dough and make it look pretty! The recipe comes from the Tabasco hot sauce company."

 

• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 4
• Serves: 8-10

ingredients

• 2 (4 ounce) packages crescent roll dough
• 8 ounces brie cheese
• 2 tablespoons Tabasco jalapeno sauce
• 1 egg, beaten

directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F Cut away rind from Brie.
2. Remove crescent roll dough from tubes and place on a floured surface; knead all the dough together and roll or press into a thin circle large enough to encase the cheese.
3. Move the dough to an ungreased baking sheet.
4. Place the Brie in the center of the dough.
5. Use a fork to poke the top of the cheese several times.
6. Pour half of the hot sauce on the cheese, spreading it around with a spoon; let it sit a minute or two so the sauce can sink inches Spread the rest of the sauce on the cheese- it's ok if some dribbles down the sides.
7. Fold the dough up over the top of the cheese and pull it shut with your fingers.
8. Brush the edges of the dough with the egg to help seal.
9. Bake for about 10 minutes or as the dough package directs; or until browned.
10. Don't overbake or the cheese will run out.
11. Remove from pan to a serving dish and serve hot.
