Ingredients for Baked Potatoes Stuffed With Brie

  • 4 large baking potatoes
  • Brie Cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Black Pepper

How to Make Baked Potatoes Stuffed With Brie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Wash and scrub 4 large baking potatoes.
  3. Pierce potatoes several times with a fork.
  4. Bake potatoes directly on the oven rack for 60-75 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces the center.
  5. Allow potatoes to cool slightly.
  6. Slice 1/2 inch lengthwise off the top of each potato.
  7. Carefully scoop out the potato flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch thick shell. Set shells aside.
  8. In a medium bowl, mash the potato flesh with 2 tablespoons of butter until smooth.
  9. Stir in 4 ounces brie cheese (cut into cubes), 1 large egg yolk, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg (optional).
  10. Mix well to combine.
  11. Stuff each potato shell with the mixture, mounding it slightly in the center.
  12. Transfer stuffed potatoes to a shallow baking dish.
  13. Bake, uncovered, for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  14. For extra browning, broil for 3-5 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  15. Serve immediately as a side dish or entree. Garnish with extra chives, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
