Maple-Planked Brie with Garlic and Roasted Peppers

Served at EGGtoberfest 2006 to the great delight of an anticipating crowd.

		Ingredients
1		maple plank, soaked (at least 4 hours)
2		small wheels brie (1/4 lb. each)
1/4 cup		olive oil
6-8		cloves of garlic, chopped
2		green onions, finely chopped
1		red bell pepper , roasted, peeled, seeded and finely chopped
1		jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced (optional)
2 Tbs		chopped fresh thyme
2 Tbs		balsamic vinegar
		black pepper and salt to taste

Procedure

Preheat EGG to 400 degrees dome.

Scrape rind off top of each wheel of brie to expose cheese and set aside.

Heat olive oil in saute pan (or cast iron skillet) and add garlic, cooking until softened but not browned.

Add green onions, peppers, thyme, vinegar and saute for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and salt & pepper to taste.

Place the maple plank on direct grill and listen for it to �pop� (about 8-10 minutes). Divide the pepper mixture evenly on top of brie wheels and place on plank.

Close lid and bake for 8-10 minutes until cheese begins to melt... (or the plank catches fire, as in Chubby�s case!!).
