Description

This delicious Bread Bowl Baked Brie with Fig Preserves is a warm, melty appetizer perfect for holiday gatherings or any special occasion. A sourdough bread loaf is hollowed out to cradle a rich wheel of brie, topped with sweet fig preserves, and air fried to achieve a perfectly toasted crust and gooey cheese center. Garnished with fresh figs and rosemary sprigs, this elegant yet simple dish will impress guests and free up oven space during busy holiday cooking.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread Bowl

  • 1 round loaf sourdough bread

Cheese and Toppings

  • 1 (8-ounce) wheel of brie cheese
  • 1/2 cup fig preserves
  • Fresh figs (for garnish)
  • Rosemary sprigs (for garnish)

Other

  • Olive oil (for brushing bread)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bread bowl: Place the brie wheel on top of the bread loaf. Using a sharp knife, trace around the brie to create a circle on the bread’s surface. Cut within the circle to remove the bread so the brie will fit snugly inside. Then, cut 1-inch slices around the outer edge of the circular section without cutting all the way through. Brush the outside of the bread with olive oil and set aside.
  2. Prepare the brie: On a flat surface, remove the outer rind from the top of the brie wheel carefully and discard it. This helps the fig preserves blend well with the melted cheese.
  3. Assemble: Place the prepared brie inside the hollowed bread bowl. Spoon the fig preserves on top of the brie, spreading it evenly.
  4. Preheat air fryer: Line the bottom of the air fryer basket with parchment paper or aluminum foil to catch any drips. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  5. Cook: Place the assembled bread bowl with brie and fig preserves into the center of the air fryer basket. Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the bread is golden and toasted, and the brie is melted and bubbly.
  6. Serve: Carefully remove the bread bowl from the air fryer and transfer it to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh figs and rosemary sprigs. Serve warm as a delightful appetizer.

Notes

  • This air fryer baked brie bread bowl is ideal for holiday parties, offering a warm, gooey, and flavorful appetizer that impresses guests.
  • Using an air fryer frees up oven space, which is precious during busy holiday cooking.
  • Be cautious when removing the bread to ensure the bottom remains intact and forms a sturdy bowl for the melted cheese.
  • Fresh figs add a lovely touch of sweetness and visual appeal but can be omitted or substituted with other seasonal fruits.
