Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf round loaf of bread (sourdough or boule)
- 8 ounces brie cheese wheel
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (optional)
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a sharp knife, cut the top off the round loaf of bread to create a lid and carefully hollow out the bread to leave a cavity large enough for the brie wheel.
Slice the garlic cloves into thin slivers.
Place the brie wheel inside the hollowed bread loaf and make shallow slits on top of the cheese. Insert the garlic slivers into the slits.
Drizzle olive oil evenly over the brie and bread. Sprinkle with fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Place the bread lid back on top and wrap the loaf loosely in aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Serve warm with the bread lid and the hollowed-out bread pieces for dipping. Optionally, pair with crackers or fresh fruits.
