1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Prepare the chimichurri sauce in a small bowl by combining the parsley, basil and garlic. Add lime juice, olive oil and hot pepper sauce, and stir well to obtain a sauce. Reserve.
3. Using a very sharp knife, cut the Brie horizontally into two discs. Rinsing the knife blade under cold running water will make the task easier.
4. Place the lower half of the cheese, rind down, onto a lightly oiled double thickness of aluminum foil. Spread chumichurri sauce onto cheese and sprinkle with red pepper. Cover with top cheese disc.
5. Close aluminum foil around cheese and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is soft.
6. Serve with a variety of toasted bread rounds and raw vegetable sticks.

Aide-gourmet tip
Are you squeezed for time? Replace the chimichurri sauce by basil pesto. The flavour will be milder, but just as delicious!
