BAKED BRIE BREAD BOWL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Slice off the top third of the bread boule and set aside. Place the Brie wheel in the center of the bread and cut around to "trace" the outline of the Brie in the bread; be careful not to go all the way through the bottom. Remove the center part of the bread that was traced out and cut into 1-inch pieces for dipping. Brush the oil along the inside exposed bread. Spread the pepper jelly on the bottom and sprinkle with salt. Cut slices in the side of the bread about halfway down and about 1 inch wide all the way around. This will create tearable pieces to enjoy later.
• Cut the top layer off the Brie and discard, then place the Brie in the bread. Cover with the bread top and bake until the cheese is melty and the bread is crusty, about 20 minutes. Top with a sprinkling of pomegranate seeds. Serve with the bread and fruit or veggies if desired.

BLOOMIN' BRIE BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
• Slice off the top quarter of the bread. Place the wheel of brie on top of the bread and use a paring knife to trace around it. Scoop out the inner circle of bread. Brush the olive oil mixture on the inside of the bread. Carefully, cut down around the edges of the bread to create the slices that people will tear after baking.
• Sprinkle with about 1/2 cup mozzarella, place the brie on top, then sprinkle with the rest of the mozzarella. Place the bread top on top of the cheese and bake until the cheese has melted and the bread is toasty, about 20 minutes.
• Serve warm.
