Baked Brie Bread Bowl Cranberry

Print Recipe

Brie, bread, cranberry and thyme baked together for a warm, gooey, and shareable treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 225 g brie cheese, small whole round
  • 1 small round loaf of bread (sourdough or boule), approximately 400–500 g
  • 120 ml cranberry sauce, fresh or store-bought
  • 1–2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon pecans or walnuts, roughly chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • 1 egg, beaten

Instructions

  1. Set the oven to 175°C and allow it to fully preheat.
  2. Slice off a circular lid from the top of the bread loaf. Hollow out the bread to form a bowl, ensuring walls remain at least 2.5 cm thick.
  3. Place the brie cheese wheel inside the prepared bread bowl. Spoon cranberry sauce over the top and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves. Garnish with nuts if desired.
  4. Brush exposed bread edges with the beaten egg for a golden crust. Loosely place the bread lid back on top.
  5. Transfer the filled bread bowl to a baking tray and bake for 15–20 minutes or until the brie is thoroughly softened and molten.
  6. Present warm. Tear or slice portions of bread and scoop the melted brie and cranberry filling for serving.

Notes

For best results, use a sturdy artisan loaf to support the melted cheese and filling during baking.
