So, because I mentioned winning in the post title, some of you may assume that I’m referencing the Superbowl.

Some of you may be grievously wrong.

This is not even remotely like Superbowl food. Brie is way too classy for Superbowl Sunday. Superbowl Sunday is made for wings that will burn your tongue off. Potato skins filled with more bacon than potato. Dips containing a year’s worth of sour cream.

This brie is like the classy older sister of the sour cream-based dip. This brie went to Harvard. She’s marrying a Kennedy, dude. This brie is too good for you and your Superbowl party!

Well, she’s too good for me too… since I didn’t make this for my party today. I totally made this for Thanksgiving. (Yep, as in 2 1/2 months ago, procrastination is awesome!) But, it’s baked cheese and mustard… two of my favorite things, and probably yours too, if you’re smart. I figured you would forgive me.

In the true tradition of snack food, this is crazy easy to make. I mean, RIDICULOUSLY EASY.  This recipe is idiot-proof. I’m not even sure it deserves to be called a recipe. I feel like a recipe requires more than 2 ingredients and more than 2 steps, but… it’s too delicious not to post. Seriously.

I’m thinking of renaming this recipe “Mustard + Brie = Foodgasm.”

What do you think?

Baked Brie with Mustard

From the Kitchenette

Serves 4 brie-lovers (or 8 weenies) as an appetizer

<space>

Ingredients
1 6-inch wheel of brie
3 tablespoons of sweet-hot mustard

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slather (there really is no other word to use here) the top and sides of the brie with mustard. Place the brie on a baking sheet covered with parchment or aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes or until the brie is soft to touch of a knife. Serve with toasted baguette slices.

I wish I could pick something that meshed better with baked brie… but I can’t. Because I’m obsessed with these dudes. They sound like the Editors, or maybe Interpol. I love a good baritone lead, that’s for damn sure.
