Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 2 (4 1/2 ounce) wheels brie cheese (rondelles)
• 1/2 pint fresh raspberry
• 1/2 cup bbq peach and bourbon barbecue sauce
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
• black pepper, from the grinder

Recipe

• 1 you will need one bbq grilling plank (oak, maple or cedar).
• 2 preheat the grill to medium-high (450 f/230 c).
• 3 place the brie wheels evenly spaced on a pre-soaked plank.
• 4 in a medium bowl, combine the raspberries, peach and bourbon bbq sauce, fresh thyme, and season to taste with freshly ground black pepper.
• 5 spoon the berry mixture evenly on top of the wheels (rondelle) of brie cheese.
• 6 place the planked brie on the grill and close the lid.
• 7 bake for 10 – 15 minutes, checking frequently to see that the plank has not caught fire. if it does, reduce grill heat and use a spray bottle of water to douse the flames.
• 8 carefully open lid and check the cheese. it is ready when the sides are bulging and rind is golden brown.
• 9 take care not to leave it until the cheese bursts or the liquid insides will run off the plank and into the fire. such a waste.
• 10 remove planked cheese from the grill. serve on the plank. with covering of your choosing protect your table from the hot, charred plank. (i usually have a second plank to set the hot, charred plank on it.).
• 11 serve with freshly baked and sliced baguette and/or crackers and plenty of napkins.
