Around the holidays, you oftentimes see recipes for baked brie with some kind of fruit jam or maple syrup. And while those are all delicious, I oftentimes find myself craving more savory than sweet dishes. This Andouille Baked Brie hits the spot when you’re looking for something quick and easy to serve as an appetizer for a small gathering. Or when you’re home alone and want to treat yourself to a few decadent bites and a glass of champagne.

Andouille sausage is one of the most popular sausages in Cajun Country and you can find it at most grocery stores. But if you’re ever interested in making it from scratch, here is our recipe for it. If you’re unable to source andouille sausage at your local supermarket, I would recommend Savoie’s Andouille Sausage from Cajun Grocer.com.

For Andouille Baked Brie, you will need to remove the sausage from the casing. Chop it up and sauté it with jalapeños, onions, garlic, rosemary and thyme. Slice the brie in half and spread a portion of the mixture on the bottom half, cover, and spread the remaining mixture on top. Bake until the cheese oozes and serve with warm French bread.

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb 1/2 andouille smoked sausage, casings removed and sausage chopped

• 1 tbsp 1 olive oil

• 1 small bunch 1 green onions, chopped

• 1 1 Jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced

• 2 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 tbsp 1 fresh rosemary leaves, minced (or 1 tsp dried)

• 1 tbsp 1 fresh thyme leaves, minced (or 1 tsp dried)

• salt and black pepper, to taste

• 1 (6 – 8-inch) wheel 1 brie cheese, chilled

• 1 loaf 1 French bread

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350°F.  Drizzle some olive oil in a large sauté pan and place andouille sausage over medium-high heat.  Cook, stirring frequently, until browned, about 5 minutes.  If the sausage has produced a lot of grease during the cooking process, you may want to drain it to remove the excess and then return the andouille sausage to the pan.
• Reduce heat to medium and add green onions, jalapeños and garlic.  Cook until tender, about 5 additional minutes.  Remove from heat and stir in rosemary and thyme.  Season to taste with salt and black pepper.   
• Remove Brie from refrigerator; slice in half horizontally.  Spread half of the andouille mixture over the bottom of the Brie.  Cover with other half.  Spoon remaining andouille mixture on top of Brie.  Bake until cheese is soft and starts to ooze, 5-7 minutes. 
• Serve warm with crusty French bread or crackers.
