Description
A warm and festive appetizer that combines creamy brie with sweet cranberry sauce, baked inside a rustic bread bowl, perfect for sharing at holiday parties.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bread boule round loaf of rustic bread
- Cooking spray
- 1 wheel of brie about 12 ounces (top of rind removed)
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
Instructions
-
-
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Slice off the top quarter of the bread. Place the wheel of brie (with the rind removed) on top of the bread and use a knife to trace a circle around it. Scoop out the inner circle of the bread.
-
Place the bread on the baking sheet. Spray the cooking spray on the outside of the bread. Cut slices all around the edges of the bread, about 1-2 inches apart. Be careful not to cut all the way down. This will create the removable slices for eating after it’s baked.
-
-
Place the brie in the emptied out bread crevice. Add ½ cup of cranberry sauce and sprinkle with thyme, and bake in the oven until the bread is toasted, about 25 minutes.
-
Serve immediately while cheese is melty.
