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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Cut a cone into the top of the bread and hollow out the loaf. Reserve the bread pieces to spread melted cheese on. Brush half the olive oil on the inside of the bread bowl. Slice off most of the Brie rind, and chop the Brie into pieces (smaller pieces will melt better). Mix the rest of the olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, nuts and basil in a bowl. Layer this mixture with the Brie pieces in the bread bowl. Bake 45 minutes, or until the cheese is thoroughly melted. Place the bowl in the center of a platter and surround it with the bread pieces. Scoop cheese mixture onto bread with knives. When there is no more bread, slice up the bowl and eat it. Great with a nice glass of crisp chardonnay or light red wine. I made the bowl up in the morning and left it in the refrigerator. I went out for the day and just put it in the hot oven to bake for an hour when my guests arrived.
