DUBLIN CHEESEBOARD-STUFFED APPETIZER BREAD



Dublin Cheeseboard-Stuffed Appetizer Bread image

When my husband and I celebrated our 25th anniversary, we took a trip to Ireland. After our first day of sightseeing in Dublin, we were tired but wanted a small bite to eat. At our hotel, we ordered a cheeseboard that was adorned with meats, different types of cheese, crackers, bread, fruit, nuts and preserves. It was by far one of the best meals we had the whole vacation. My Dublin Cheeseboard-Stuffed Appetizer Bread is inspired by the goodness of our Dublin visit.

Brie-and-Cranberry Stuffed Bread Bowl image

This cheese-stuffed bread bowl has built in dippers, thanks to a few clever cuts -- no crackers required.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup orange juice
12 ounces frozen cranberries (about 2 cups)
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
One 6-inch wheel Brie
One 9-inch round bread boule
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: A sturdy bread that can hold up to being stuffed is essential. Good options include sourdough, French bread, and Italian bread.
  • Don't overfill the bread: You want the bread to be stuffed, but not so much that it bursts open. Leave a little bit of room for the filling to expand.
  • Bake the bread until it is golden brown: This will ensure that the bread is cooked through and the filling is heated.
  • Let the bread cool slightly before serving: This will make it easier to slice and will also help the filling to set.
  • Serve the bread with your favorite dipping sauce: This will add extra flavor and moisture to the bread.

Conclusion:

Stuffed bread appetizers are a delicious and easy way to feed a crowd. They can be made with a variety of different fillings, so there is sure to be something for everyone.
