Ingredients
Scale
- 1 round sourdough loaf (about 1 lb / 450 g)
- 8 oz (225 g) Brie cheese, sliced
- 1/2 cup (120 g) cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Prepare the sourdough loaf:
- Place the sourdough loaf on the prepared baking sheet. Using a serrated knife, cut a crosshatch pattern into the loaf, creating 1-inch squares. Be careful not to cut all the way through to the bottom.
- Stuff the bread:
- Gently pull apart the bread squares and stuff slices of Brie into the cuts. Spoon cranberry sauce into the crevices, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
- Make the herb butter:
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with rosemary, thyme, and garlic powder (if using). Drizzle the herb butter over the top of the bread, letting it seep into the crevices.
- Bake:
- Wrap the stuffed loaf loosely in aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
- Uncover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve:
- Garnish with extra herbs if desired and serve warm. Let guests pull apart the bread pieces to enjoy the gooey, cheesy goodness.
Notes
- Variations: Add chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch, or drizzle with honey for added sweetness.
- Cheese swaps: Camembert or goat cheese can be used instead of Brie.
- Cranberry sauce: For a homemade version, simmer 1 cup fresh cranberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and 2 tablespoons orange juice until thickened.
