Honey Chorizo Baked Brie

Perfect app for any party or dinner, this honey chorizo baked brie brings a little heat, a little sweetness, and a whole lot of flavor as your starter!

Ingredients

  • 1 large wheel of Brie we get ours from Costco, they vary from 17.6-19.6 oz
  • 1 lb chorizo we use Trader Joe's Soy Chorizo because it's seriously so good but any chorizo will do!
  • 1/2 a Vidalia or sweet onion finely chopped
  • 4 cloves of garlic minced or pressed
  • 1/4 cup honey for baking and drizzle
  • 1 T olive oil
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°.  Cut a circle around the top of the wheel of brie (you can peel off the top now, it'll just be harder, or cook it and pull it off when the cheese is melty either way works).  Drizzle with about 2 tablespoons of honey. Place in oven for 15-20 or until cheese is super melty in the middle.  While cheese is cooking, cut up onion and garlic.  Heat pan to medium-high heat, add olive oil and sauté onions and garlic until translucent. Add chorizo, break up until small pieces and cooked throughly.  Salt to taste. Turn off heat.  Brie should be done by now, take out of oven, peel off top rind and top with chorizo mixture.  Drizzle with honey.  Serve with preferred accoutrements. Enjoy all that cheese goodness immediately!
