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 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.
  • Cut the brie cheese into small chunks and place them inside the hollowed-out bread.
  • Caramelize the onions: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Sweeten the onions: Stir in the brown sugar and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, letting the sugar dissolve and blend with the onions.
  • Season the onion mixture: Season with salt and pepper to taste, then 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 warm: Serve immediately while the cheese is gooey and the bread is fresh. Enjoy the creamy, savory dip with the bread bowl and any extra crusty bread or crackers.

Notes

  • You can use a sourdough bread loaf or any crusty artisan bread for added flavor.
  • For a more indulgent version, drizzle the baked brie with honey before serving.
  • If you prefer a milder onion flavor, you can sauté the onions on low heat for longer to achieve a lighter caramelization.
