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.
