Boozy Campfire Cheese Recipe
- 1 (7- to 8-ounce) wheel soft-ripened, bloomy-rind cheese, such as Camembert or Brie
- 1 tablespoon pear eau de vie or brandy
- 1 loaf crusty bread, such as pain au levain, baguette, or sourdough
- Unwrap cheese and set in the center of a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil, about 12 by 12 inches.
- Perforate cheese by pricking it a few times with a fork, then sprinkle liquor over the holes.
- Close the foil by wrapping the sides up around the cheese and sealing it at the top.
- Place wheel in the embers of the campfire, at the edge of the fire where the logs are smoldering and covered with a layer of gray ash (not in a direct flame).
- Cook, turning wheel occasionally with the tongs so all sides spend some time near the embers, until cheese is soft and melted, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Remove from the fire and place on a plate.
- Open foil packet, and scoop out cheese with hunks of crusty bread.
