Step 1

Preheat oven to 375˚

Step 2

Slice pumpkin, so you have a "bowl" that will fit your brie wheel. Remove seeds and fibers.

Step 3

Paint the inside of the pumpkin with olive oil, and place on baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake pumpkin in preheating oven, while you remove the rind from brie wheel.

Step 5

Carefully! Remove the rind from your wheel of brie. I like to use a serrated cheese knife, and 'saw' back forth very gently.

Step 6

Remove pumpkin from oven, and stuff cheese into it. If it doesn't fit, feel free to cut the brie into pieces, it will melt anyways!

Step 7

Cover brie with apricot preserves. Then, cover the entire pumpkin with foil.

Step 8

Bake for half an hour at 375˚

Step 9

Remove from oven, and immediately serve with sliced baguette
