Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment.
  • Put 1 round sourdough boule or crusty loaf on a chopping board in front of you. Use a serrated bread knife to cut the top off the bread so that you have a flat surface to work with.

  • Cut the piece of bread you just removed into croutons and set aside for now.
  • Unwrap the 7 ounce wheel of Brie and hold it over the center of the loaf. Use a sharp knife to cut around the outside edge of the Brie. Only cut slightly deeper than the depth of the Brie.
