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.
