Baked Brie in Bread Bowl with Cranberry Sauce and Thyme
Ingredients:
1 round loaf of sourdough or boule bread
1 wheel of brie cheese about 8 oz 燎
cup cranberry sauce homemade or store-bought
Fresh thyme sprigs
1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
Instructions:
1 Prep Bread Bowl:
Preheat oven to 350F 175C. Slice the top off the bread loaf and hollow out the center to create a bowl that fits the brie wheel snugly.
2 Assemble:
Place the brie wheel into the bread bowl. Spoon cranberry sauce over the top of the brie and layer with fresh thyme sprigs.
3 Bake:
Brush the edges of the bread bowl with olive oil or melted butter. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until the brie is gooey and the bread is golden brown.
4 Finish & Serve:
Garnish with extra thyme sprigs for a fresh, herby finish. Serve warm with bread chunks, crackers, or veggie sticks for dipping.
A simple, elegant appetizer perfect for any gathering!
