Brie With Herbs In Bread Food

BAKED BRIE IN A BREAD BOWL RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Cut off the top of the bread boule so the top surface is flat and without crust. Slice the crusty top into sticks and set aside.
• Set the brie wheel on top of the bread and cut out a hole for the brie. Set the brie aside and remove the cut out bread.
• In a small bowl, mix the olive oil with 2 cloves of garlic and brush over the bread. Set the boule aside.
• Carefully cut the top rind off of the brie wheel. Place the brie, cut-side up, inside the bread and set it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Scoop out about a tablespoon of the center of the brie and pour the white wine into the divot.
• Top the brie with the remaining minced garlic and chopped bacon, and season with pepper. Arrange the bread sticks next to the bread on the baking sheet.
• Bake for 15- 20 minutes, until the brie is completely melted.
• Sprinkle with chives.
• Dip the bread sticks and any other dipping items you'd like in the brie.
• To reheat, bake the brie at 250°F (120°C) for about 15 minutes, until melted.
• Enjoy!

BRIE WITH HERBS IN BREAD

Steps:

• Cut the baguette in half lengthwise and sprinkle the cut surface of each half with the oil, wine, pepper and garlic, dividing the ingredients evenly between the two halves.
• Trim the Brie to remove any crust and cut into quarter-inch slices, preferably large and thin. Spread half the herbs on the cut surface of the bottom half of the loaf and arrange the cheese slices on top. Spread the remaining herbs on top of the Brie and place the top half of the bread loaf on top to reform the loaf. Press firmly together and roll as tightly as possible in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. (If tightly wrapped, the bread absorbs the juices better.)
• Press the loaf between two baking sheets and refrigerate with three-to-five pounds of weight (a can or jar, perhaps) on top for four to five hours before cutting in slices to serve. It can be consumed cold or lukewarm

BAKED BRIE BREAD BOWL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Slice off the top third of the bread boule and set aside. Place the Brie wheel in the center of the bread and cut around to "trace" the outline of the Brie in the bread; be careful not to go all the way through the bottom. Remove the center part of the bread that was traced out and cut into 1-inch pieces for dipping. Brush the oil along the inside exposed bread. Spread the pepper jelly on the bottom and sprinkle with salt. Cut slices in the side of the bread about halfway down and about 1 inch wide all the way around. This will create tearable pieces to enjoy later.
• Cut the top layer off the Brie and discard, then place the Brie in the bread. Cover with the bread top and bake until the cheese is melty and the bread is crusty, about 20 minutes. Top with a sprinkling of pomegranate seeds. Serve with the bread and fruit or veggies if desired.
