Inspired by the most popular recipe on the blog, Bruschetta Grilled Chicken Zoodle Bowls (6 MILLION views on Facebook & counting!), I combined the deliciously simple Tomato Basil Bruschetta recipe that tops the zoodle bowls, with luscious, creamy, baked brie, all snuggled in a delightfully crisp sourdough bread bowl. And let me tell you, it was amazing!
The freshness of the bruschetta, paired with the creaminess of the brie is a match made in heaven! This is the perfect appetizer for an Italian dinner or a party starter!
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients for the tomato basil bruschetta in a medium bowl, then set it aside.
- Slice the top and middle out of a round of sourdough bread.
- Place a round of brie in the middle of the sourdough bread, then top the brie with the tomato basil bruschetta.
- Wrap the entire round of bread in foil, then place it in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle with balsamic reduction. Slice the top piece of bread into cubes for dipping up the baked brie and bruschetta goodness. Cut slits every inch along the edge of the bread bowl, for easy pulling apart and dipping.
Frequently asked questions
- Do you cut off the rind on brie cheese? You do not cut the rind off of the brie cheese in this baked brie recipe. You put the entire round of brie, with the rind attached, in the bread bowl. The rind helps keep the gooey goodness of the brie inside while it bakes, and it’s totally edible.
- Can you make it ahead of time? I do not recommend making this recipe ahead of time. Baked brie is the most delicious when it’s fresh out of the oven, warm and gooey! The bruschetta can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days before making this recipe.
- How do you cut baked brie? I recommend serving this recipe with a spoon and cheese spreader. Once the brie is baked in the oven, it’s easy to slice right into with a cheese spreader or butter knife. Spread it on a piece of bread, then use the spoon to scoop the bruschetta on top.
