Servings 6
Ingredients
- 1 8-inch round loaf sourdough bread
- 1/2 lb double cream brie cheese, with rind on
- 6-8 oz homemade pear preserves get the recipe here
- 1/4-1/2 cup roasted pistachios chopped
- heavy duty aluminum foil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Prepare the bread: Cut a circle from the top of the loaf. Remove the top and hollow out the inside, leaving a 1-inch shell. Reserve the bread pieces for dipping.
- Add the cheese: Slice the brie into 1 inch pieces. Layer them into the bread bowl, pressing to fill all the edges. (You can double this up if you really love cheese!)
- Add the toppings: Spread the pear preserves evenly over the cheese, then sprinkle with the chopped pistachios. Cut the bread top down to about 1 inch, then place back on the loaf.
- Wrap in foil: Wrap the entire loaf tightly with heavy duty foil, tightly sealing the seams.
- Bake: Place on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Serve warm: Remove the foil, place on a serving board, and use the reserved bread pieces to dip into the melted cheese and preserves.
