By bakers_delight85

If you're looking for something special for your holiday hors d' oeuvres table, this tangy out-of-the-ordinary appetizer will fill the bill. "It is so popular with my friends that I try to keep Brie cheese and artichoke hearts on hand at all time," relates Lucy Banks from Jackson, Mississippi.

Ingredients

• 1 round (4-1/2 ounces) Brie cheese
• 1/3 cup chopped water-packed artichoke hearts, rinsed and drained
• 2 teaspoons minced fresh basil
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• Salt and cayenne pepper to taste
• Assorted crackers

Preparation

Step 1

Slice Brie in half horizontally. Place the bottom half in a small round baking dish or pie plate. Combine the artichokes, basil, oil, garlic, salt and cayenne; spread over Brie.

Replace top. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 10-15 minutes or until heated through. Serve with crackers. Yield: 4 servings.
