This baked Brie bread bowl bakes garlic, herbs, and white wine right into the bread along with the gooey cheese. The bread gets crisp around the edges, soft in the center, and every bite is packed with flavor. You’ll love how easy our version of baked Brie is.

I love to set out pretty things for a party, especially if they look much harder than they actually are. That’s the case with this lovely Brie cheese bread bowl. It’s pretty and looks impressive, like something that came from a restaurant. But it is so easy to put together!

Testing results for baked brie bread bowl

  1. We used a homemade sourdough boule for this recipe, but we have also tested with round bread from the grocery store, and it worked fine.
  2. We tested with garlic and herbs, but you can change up the flavors and try fig or raspberry jam.
  3. Our wine choice for this recipe is a dry Chardonnay. Choose something you will drink since you’re only using a small amount.
