Ingredients

• 1 large round bread boule
• 1 piece wheel of brie cheese (8-10 oz)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
• 1.5 tablespoons honey
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 bag baguette slices or crackers (for dipping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice off the top third of the bread boule and hollow out the interior, leaving about a 1-inch thick shell on all sides.

Step 3

Lightly score the top rind of the brie wheel with a sharp knife, creating a crisscross pattern.

Step 4

Place the brie in the hollowed-out boule, rind side up.

Step 5

In a small skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant, but not browned.

Step 6

Add the chopped rosemary, thyme, and crushed red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir for 30 seconds to release their aroma.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle in the honey. Stir well to combine.

Step 8

Sprinkle the garlic-herb-honey mixture evenly over the top of the brie. Add a pinch of salt and ground black pepper over the mixture for extra seasoning.

Step 9

Place the stuffed boule on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the brie is melted and gooey.

Step 11

Carefully remove the boule from the oven and transfer it to a serving platter.

Step 12

Serve hot with baguette slices or crackers for dipping. Tear pieces from the boule itself for an extra treat!
