Description

This Pull-Apart Sourdough Brie and Cranberry Bread is a delightful appetizer combining the rich creaminess of melted brie with the tart sweetness of whole berry cranberry sauce, all nestled within a buttery, herb-infused sourdough loaf. Perfect for holiday gatherings or cozy nights, this easy-to-make recipe features tender slices of sourdough bread brushed with thyme and rosemary butter, then baked to gooey perfection for a sharable, crowd-pleasing treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 large round sourdough bread loaf
  • ½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 (16 oz) wheel of brie, chopped or cubed
  • 1½ cups whole berry cranberry sauce
  • Kosher salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking your stuffed bread.
  2. Prepare the Bread: Carefully slice the sourdough loaf horizontally and vertically to create a grid of 1-inch cubes, making sure you do not cut all the way through the bottom crust to keep the loaf intact.
  3. Make the Herb Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter with dried thyme, dried rosemary, and a pinch of kosher salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Brush the Bread with Herb Butter: Place the sliced bread on a baking sheet and carefully brush the herb butter mixture deep into the slits and cuts, ensuring the flavors permeate the bread.
  5. Stuff the Bread: Insert pieces of chopped or cubed brie and spoonfuls of whole berry cranberry sauce into each space created by the cuts in the bread.
  6. Wrap and Bake: Wrap the entire loaf tightly in aluminum foil to retain moisture, then bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the brie is melted and gooey.
  7. Serve: Remove the bread from the oven, unwrap, and place on a serving platter. Serve hot for the best melty, flavorful experience.

Notes

  • Be careful not to slice all the way through the bottom of the loaf to keep it intact for stuffing.
  • Use a softened butter to easily mix the herbs and spread into the bread.
  • If you prefer, substitute fresh thyme and rosemary for dried herbs for a more vibrant herb flavor.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the cheese at its melty best.
  • Leftovers can be reheated wrapped in foil at 350°F for 10 minutes.
