โค๏ธ Why You’ll Love Maple Bacon Brie Baked Sourdough
This is one of those show stopping appetizers. I like to bring these to gatherings because it always impresses people, when really, it’s just simple ingredients presented in a special way.
๐ฒ Ingredients
Sourdough Loaf– This can really be made with any kind of loaf of bread, but if you make sourdough from scratch, I’ve linked my recipe here to use as a reference!
Brie cheese – 8 oz wheel of brie cheese, but keep in mind that quality matters with the flavor or meltiness of the cheese. So, make sure to get a good quality brie!
Bacon – 4 -6 pieces of cooked, crispy bacon
Maple syrup – I like to use Kirkland’s organic maple syrup but use whatever maple syrup you have on hand!
Nuts – Walnuts are optional but would definitely elevate the flavors!

๐ฉโ๐ณ How to Make Maple Bacon Brie Baked Sourdough
- Start with making and baking your sourdough bread. When there is 10 minutes left, remove your bread and let cool for 15 minutes.
- Cook your bacon however you like best.
- When your bread has cooled, remove your brie from the packaging and using your bread knife, cut a circle into the top of your bread that is the shape of the cheese. Remove the top of the bread and place on the side.
- With a knife, score the top of the brie in a checkered pattern and place into the open space of the bread.
- Melt maple syrup and brown sugar in a saucepan on the stove over medium low heat for 2 -3 minutes. Chop your bacon into small pieces and add to the pan. Cook everything together for another 2 minutes until all the bacon is coated, then turn off the heat. (add nuts here if you like).
- Top your brie with the maple bacon mixture, and carefully transfer your loaf to a Dutch oven. Place the lid on top to prevent the bacon from burning.
- Preheat your oven to 400 and bake for 15 – 20 minutes until the cheese is nice and melty.
- Serve warm with extra bread and crackers and enjoy!

Do you think I could wait a day in between baking my bread and putting the Brie in it? If Iโm bringing it to a holiday party and I want the Brie to be nice and melty I mean.
Iโm wondering the same thing- can I use a previously baked loaf?
Yes, for sure! Keep it simple.
