Rustic Brie Bread Bowl with Cranberries and Fresh Thyme
Ingredients:
– 1 round loaf of sourdough bread (about 8-10 inches in diameter)
– 1 wheel of brie cheese (8 oz)
– 1/2 cup whole cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
– 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
– 1 tablespoon honey
– 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 garlic clove, minced
– Fresh thyme sprigs (for garnish)
– Crackers or sliced baguette (optional for serving)
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cut off the top of the sourdough loaf and hollow out the center, leaving a thick wall around the edges. Set aside the bread pieces for later use or for dipping.
3. Place the brie wheel into the hollowed-out bread bowl.
4. In a small bowl, mix the cranberry sauce, fresh thyme leaves, honey, and ground black pepper. Spread this mixture evenly over the top of the brie.
5. Drizzle the olive oil over the entire bread bowl, and rub the edges with minced garlic to infuse flavor.
6. Place the bread bowl on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the brie is melted and gooey, and the bread edges are golden and crispy.
7. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh thyme sprigs.
8. Serve immediately with the bread pieces from the center, crackers, or sliced baguette for dipping.
