Description
A warm, gooey brie cheese baked inside a crusty bread bowl, topped with sweet-tart cranberry sauce and fragrant thyme for a festive appetizer.
Ingredients
- 1 round loaf of sourdough bread (about 8 inches in diameter)
- 1 wheel of brie cheese (8 oz)
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice off the top of the sourdough loaf and hollow out the center, leaving a 1-inch thick shell.
- Place the brie wheel inside the hollowed bread bowl. Spread cranberry sauce evenly over the brie and sprinkle with thyme leaves.
- Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and replace the bread top. Wrap the entire loaf in foil and bake for 25-30 minutes until cheese is melted.
- Remove from oven, let cool for 5 minutes, then unwrap and serve warm with bread pieces for dipping.
