Another variation on baked brie – Tex Mex this time.

Ingredients:

• 1 3 lb brie
• 1/2 c  red onion – diced
• 1 Tab garlic – minced
• 1/2 cup sweet corn.
• 16 oz green salsa – Salsa Verde (buy or make from scratch)
• 1/2 c sun dried tomatoes in oil – diced (you can sometimes buy them this way) (or use 1 cup fresh tomatoes – whatever)
• 1/2 tsp chili pd
• 4 cups tortilla chips
• Small plates

Directions:

1. Mix Salsa Verde, corn, onion, garlic,  tomatoes.
2. Place brie in a shallow ovenproof casserole or pan 2 inches wider than the cheese. (A cast iron frying pan works great.)
3. Score the top of the brie in diamonds.  (Don’t bother peeling it)
4. Spoon salsa mix around cheese.
5. Dust cheese with ground New Mexico chili or chili powder (For something fancy, use a stencil – like a star or logo -cut out of a paper plate).
6. Bake in a 400° oven until melted in center, 8 to 10 minutes. (Or heat in a microwave oven at full power, 100%, for 4 to 6 minutes.)
7. Keep hot on an electric warming tray or over a candle warmer to serve.
8. Place chips on plate.
9. Spoon cheese and salsa over tortilla chips.

Serves:    Probably about 15
