Ingredients Needed
For this recipe you will need:
- 4-6oz of spreadable Cheese (Brie) I like Alouette Garlic and Herbs or The Laughing Cow Spicy Pepper Jack Spreadable Cheese
- One uncut Sourdough Loaf (French or Italian Bread works as well – The hot and ready bread found at most Walmarts or grocery stores in the US)
- 1.5 Cups of low-moisture mozzarella (I stick with ungrated as it does not have an anti-caking agent that hinders the cheese from getting super melty for that perfect cheese pull (you can change this with cheddar or any other melty cheese if you want)
- A sprinkle of Parmesan cheese
If you are using a brie without herbs you can add these to your brie to dress it up
- 1/2 tbsp Oregano
- 1/2 tbsp Parsley
- Three healthy pinches of salt and pepper
- Dried onion flake or powder
- One minced garlic clove (this is one part of the garlic, not the whole bulb) (garlic powder will work if you don’t have fresh)
- 1/4-1/2 Dried basil (fresh is better and you will mince up 3-5 fresh leaves)
- I add a dash or two of red pepper flakes for a little kick that even my pickiest of friends love
- Dash of Sage
- Dash of Thyme
- Dash of marjoram (this is a spice… not a misspelling of margarine)
Or you can just use “Italian seasoning”
Step-by-step Instructions
- Cut your loaf in half long ways.
- Place the bread, crust down, on your cooking sheet.
- Coat your none crust sides with the brie and herb mix (I lean more on the 4oz side but up to 6.5 oz works too)
- Cover in your freshly grated cheese
- Top with a sprinkling of parmesan
- Cover both halves with foil and bake for 5-10 or until you can start to smell the mouth-watering aroma then remove the foil and broil on high until the cheese is golden.
- Pull from the oven and serve.
Serving Suggestions
Enjoy this bread as is, or served it alongside some pasta or with a warm bowl of soup. This bread is great for dinner or as a great option for large gatherings like the holidays. This bread is best served fresh out of the oven but will keep well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. You can also freeze it and reheat it in the microwave or in the oven as needed.
I love to take the leftovers and warm up the bread with some ham or turkey in the oven and make a sandwich with some fresh veggies.
