Steps:
- Put the bacon in a large nonstick skillet and turn the heat to medium. Cook until the fat renders, about 5 minutes, then add the onion and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Add the thyme sprigs and garlic; reduce the heat to medium low. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is browned and broken down, 30 to 35 minutes, adding the vinegar and brown sugar in the last 5 to 10 minutes. If the pan gets too dry, add a splash of water and scrape up any browned bits. Remove from the heat; stir in the mustard and parsley.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Put the brie in the freezer to firm up, 5 to 10 minutes. Using a serrated knife, slice off the top one-third of the bread loaf (reserve the top). Hollow out the bread so that the brie will fit inside. Slice the top and insides of the bread; drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange the sliced bread on one baking sheet and put the bread bowl on the other.
- Remove the brie from the freezer and trim off the top rind. Fit the brie inside the bread bowl and top with the onion jam, discarding the thyme stems. Transfer both baking sheets to the oven and bake until the bread is toasted and the brie is hot, about 10 minutes for the sliced bread and 15 to 20 minutes for the bread bowl. Sprinkle the brie with thyme. Serve with the toasted bread.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Bring the sugar and orange juice to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and cook until the sugar has dissolved, about 3 minutes. Stir in the cranberries and 1 teaspoon rosemary and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has thickened and reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet and refrigerate until cooled, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, center the wheel of Brie on top of the bread boule. Using the Brie as a guide, trace a circle a little larger than the wheel of cheese with a paring knife and cut into the top of the bread and pull out the "plug". Trim and flatten it so it can be used as a lid for the bread bowl. Scoop out the insides of the bread boule, leaving about 1/2-inch of bread around the side.
- Starting halfway up the side of the bread boule, use a serrated knife to cut a 1/2-inch deep horizontal slit around the entire bread boule. Now, starting at the rim of the bread boule cut down about 3/4-inch deep to connect to the first horizontal cut. Repeat all around the rim of the bread, spacing these vertical cuts about 1-inch apart. Brush the inside of the bread with the butter and sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
- Reserve 1/4 cup of the cranberry sauce and spread the remaining sauce into the bottom of the bowl. Slice the top off the Brie and place into the bread on top of the cranberries. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Place the lid back on top and bake until the cheese is warm and gooey and the bread has turned a golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes.
- Transfer to a serving platter and remove the lid and top with the reserved cranberry sauce. Rip the pull-apart pieces off around the outer edge and dip. Toast the extra scooped out bread and serve as extra dippers on the side.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat the olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and thyme sprigs, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is caramelized, 15 to 17 minutes (reduce the heat if the onion is getting too dark). Add the Worcestershire sauce and cook until the skillet is dry, about 1 minute. Add the beef broth and cook, stirring, until the mixture is slightly saucy, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly; discard the thyme sprigs and stir in the chives.
- Using a small serrated knife, hollow out the bread loaf, leaving a ½-inch-thick shell; reserve the cut-out bread. Drizzle the inside of the bread with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Fill the loaf with half of the brie, then top with the onion mixture and the remaining brie; transfer to a baking sheet. Bake until the brie melts and the bread is toasted, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, slice the reserved bread into pieces and arrange on a separate baking sheet; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake until toasted, 5 to 8 minutes. Top the dip with more chives and serve with the toasted bread and crackers and/or crudites.

- With a sharp knife, cut a 'lid' from the top of the bread. Carefully remove insides, leaving a 1-inch crust. In a small bowl, mix butter with garlic.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Farenheit. Cut 1/4 of the top off of the bread loaf. Tear out the inside bread from the loaf. Tear into 1 inch pieces and set aside into a serving bowl. Leave a 1 inch thickness to walls of the bread loaf. Rub the cut side of the garlic clove all over the inside of the hollowed out bread bowl. Brush 2 tablespoons of the olive oil on the inside of the hollowed out loaf. Cube the brie into 1 inch pieces. You can remove the rind or leave it on. (To remove the rind without losing a lot of cheese, use a piece of unflavored dental floss. Hold both ends of the floss and run it just underneath the rind and pull all the way through.) Fill the bread with the cubes of brie. Sprinkle the Herbs de Provence and pepper over the cheese. Cover the bread bowl with the lid that was previously cut. Brush the outside of the loaf with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Wrap the filled bread bowl with foil and bake for 30-40 minutes. Remove from oven. Take the bread bowl out of the foil, remove the lid and serve with the bread pieces.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut the bread in 1-inch cross section squares to resemble a checkerboard. Make sure not to cut all the way through the bread.
- 2. Wrap the bottom of the bread in aluminum foil.
- 3. Mix together the melted butter, rosemary, thyme, and pepper.
- 4. Brush the seasoned butter in between the cuts in the bread.
- 5. Slice the Brie into 1/2-inch wide strips and then into 1-inch long pieces.
- 6. Stuff the Brie in between the cuts of bread.
- 7. Then, spoon the cranberry sauce over the Brie and in between the bread cuts.
- 8. Sprinkle the chopped pecans and dried cranberries over the top of the bread making sure to get into the crevices.
- 9. Place the stuffed bread onto a cookie sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
- 10. Serve hot. To eat, simply tear off pieces of the bread.
Tips:
- Choose the right brie. Look for a brie that is ripe, but not too soft. The brie should be slightly firm to the touch and have a slightly bloomy rind.
- Prepare the bread ahead of time. You can make the bread dough up to 2 days in advance. Just store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to use it.
- Don't overfill the bread. The brie will expand as it bakes, so don't overfill the bread. Leave about 1 inch of space around the brie.
- Bake the bread until the cheese is melted and bubbly. The baking time will vary depending on the size of the bread and the type of brie you are using. Check the bread after about 20 minutes and continue baking until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the bread cool slightly before slicing. Let the bread cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. This will help prevent the cheese from oozing out.
Conclusion:
Brie bread is a delicious and easy appetizer or snack. It's perfect for parties or potlucks. You can make it ahead of time and it's always a crowd-pleaser. So next time you're looking for a simple and delicious recipe, give brie bread a try.
