Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large round loaf of bread
- 1 wheel of brie cheese
- 2 onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the bread bowl: Cut the top off the loaf of bread and hollow out the center, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
- Add the brie: Cut the brie cheese into small chunks and place them in the hollowed-out bread.
- Caramelize the onions: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until they are caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.
- Add sugar and season: Stir in the brown sugar and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Season the onion mixture with salt and pepper.
- Assemble the bread bowl: Pour the caramelized onions over the brie cheese in the bread bowl.
- Bake: Place the bread bowl on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- The bread loaf should be sturdy enough to hold the melted brie and onions without collapsing. A round artisan bread or sourdough loaf works best.
- For a bit of extra flavor, drizzle the top of the bread with olive oil before baking.
- This dish pairs well with fresh vegetables or crackers for dipping, and can be served as a dip or appetizer for a group.
