Print Recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs broccoli, thick stems removed, tops cut into florets (about 1 1/2 quarts)
1 1/2 lbs mushrooms, halved or quartered if large
1 1/2 lbs Brie, rind removed
1/2 c cocktail onions
2 tbsps cooking oil
1 1/2 lbs small new potatoes, or boiling potatoes cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 tsp salt

Directions

Step #1 Heat the oven to 400°.
Step #2 Cut the Brie into thin slices & divide the cheese among four small ovenproof dishes or ramekins.
Step #3 Put the potatoes In a large-ish saucepan of salted water.
Step #4 Bring to a boil & let simmer for 10 mins.
Step #5 Add the broccoli florets to the pan & let simmer until the potatoes & broccoli are tender, about 5 mins longer.
Step #6 Remove the broccoli with a slotted spoon & drain on paper towels.
Step #7 Drain the potatoes and, if using new potatoes, cut them in quarters when cool enough to handle.
Step #8 Meanwhile, toss the mushrooms with the oil & salt.
Step #9 Put the mushrooms on a baking sheet & roast until browned & tender, turning once, 10 to 15 mins.
Step #10 Remove the pan from the oven & then turn the oven off.
Step #11 Put the dishes of cheese in the oven & leave until the cheese just melts, 5 to 10 mins.
Step #12 Meanwhile, mushrooms, pile the potatoes, broccoli, & cocktail onions on individual plates.
Step #13 Serve each portion of melted Brie as soon as possible, along with the vegetables for dipping.
Step #14 Wine Recommendation: The wines of the Loire Valley in France are frequently overlooked by serious imbibers, but its elegant cabernet-franc-based reds are often more suitable at the table than more robust cabernet sauvignons.
Step #15 Go for a fruity Chinon or Saumur-Champigny.
Step #16 Notes: Cocktail onions, most frequently found in your martini glass, can stand on their own as a pickle.
Step #17 Their slight crunch & pleasant tartness make them surprisingly tasty with Brie.
