I can't wait to try this one! I love this kind of thing. Here's another one that is really good.

This was from a McCormick insert in the paper a couple years ago. It is one of my family?s favorites now.

1 (1 pound) round loaf sourdough bread
1 (8 ounce) wheel brie cheese
1 tablespoon soft butter
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dry ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon sugar

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine spices and sugar; set aside.

Cut circle in top of bread and remove bread center to make room for brie. Spread butter in bread; sprinkle with 2 teaspoons spice mixture. With knife, make 2-inch cuts around edge of bread at 1-inch intervals. Remove rind from brie and place in bread. Sprinkle brie with remaining spice. Replace top of bread. Bake on baking sheet 20-30 minutes.

To serve, remove bread top and break into bite size pieces. Dip bread pieces in hot brie.
