Brie Cheese Sauce (an LSCDL recipe)

This was my very first SCD recipe. It's actually a medieval

recipe which was adapted for modern ingredients from the time I

participated in historical recreation. It became a favorite of ours for

holidays, special occasions, and any time when we are feeling downright

decadent. Note: my niece says that good brie sauce is wasted on yucky

vegetables. It should be used as a dipping sauce for chunks of your

favorite SCD bread

8 ounces peeled weight brie cheese (12 ounces in the rind)

2 sticks (eight ounces) butter

1 cup half & half yogurt cheese or 8 ounces dry curd cottage cheese,

whipped smooth

Place peeled brie in top of a double boiler. Place butter on top. Cover,

and heat over gently simmering water until brie is very soft and butter

is completely melted.

Remove from heat. Whisk brie and butter together. Whisk in yogurt cheese

or dry curd cottage cheese Heat gently until warm, whisking.

This sauce can be made ahead, but it does tend to separate when

re-warmed, so be prepared to whisk it back into shape. Mix with

vegetables, or serve on top.

Note: when using yogurt cheese, I like to add it last so it is less

likely to separate. When using DCCC, I simply later the peeled brie, the

DCCC and the butter in the double boiler, and heat, then use a hand

blender to whip everything together and smooth. This sauce freezes

amazingly well, so I make up a big batch and then freeze it in one to two

cup containers. Do label it. I'll never forget the time I thought I was

defrosting some brie sauce, and it turned out to be egg nog frozen

yogurt...
