  • Pull out the bread from the center where the cheese will be placed. Tear the bread and the circle into small chunks and place on a baking tray. Drizzle the olive oil over the bread chunks.
  • Using a sharp knife take of some of the surface of the brie to let the other ingredients penetrate the cheese.
