Ingredients
Scale
Sourdough Bread Bowl:
- 1 round sourdough bread loaf
Cranberry Brie Filling:
- 1 (8 oz) wheel of Brie cheese
- 1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary (plus more for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
- crackers or sliced baguette (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Prepare the bread: Slice off the top of the bread loaf and set it aside. Trace around the Brie in the center of the loaf and scoop out enough bread to fit the cheese snugly.
- Fill the bread: Place the Brie in the hollowed-out center. Mix cranberry sauce, honey, cinnamon, and rosemary; spread over the Brie. Replace the bread top and brush with olive oil.
- Bake: Bake the filled bread on a baking sheet for 20–25 minutes until the cheese melts and the bread is golden.
- Serve: Garnish with rosemary and serve warm with crackers or baguette slices.
Notes
- You can use homemade or store-bought cranberry sauce.
- For a savory twist, add chopped toasted pecans or walnuts before baking.
