1 loaf round rustic bread, sourdough or Italian
1 wheel Brie
Italian parsley
olive oil
Mrs. Miller's Homemade Maple Onion Bacon Jam
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment. Slice the dome off the top of the bread, leaving 3/4s of the bread on the bottom. Use the brie to measure the center of the bread and trace with a knife. Scoop out the bread and set aside.
Cut slices around the edge of the bread in 1-2 inch sections, leaving the bottom intact. Drizzle the olive oil over the bread, including the bottom of the 'lid' - the dome you sliced off the top. Slice off the top of the brie and discard the rind. Place it in the oiled, hollowed out bread, and top with the chopped Italian parsley.
Spoon the bacon jam over the top and then replace the top of the bread. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until hot and melty. In the last 10 minutes of baking, add the chunks of bread scooped out to the sheet pan and bake if desired.
To serve, remove the top of the bread and encourage your guests to rip it to shreds! Slice the top of the bread into bite size pieces for dipping.
