  • Total Time: 35 mins
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 round loaf sourdough or keto pull-apart bread
  • 6 oz brie, cubed
  • ¼ cup cranberry sauce
  • 1 tbsp chopped rosemary or thyme
  • 1 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
  2. Prepare the Bread: Using a sharp knife, slice the round bread in a crosshatch pattern, cutting deeply but not all the way through, to create pockets for the fillings.
  3. Insert Brie: Gently push the cubed brie pieces into the slits of the bread, making sure the cheese is evenly distributed throughout.
  4. Add Toppings: Drizzle the melted butter and cranberry sauce evenly over the top and inside the folds of the bread for rich flavor and moisture.
  5. Herb Sprinkle: Sprinkle the chopped rosemary or thyme generously over the top to add a fresh, aromatic touch.
  6. Bake: Place the assembled bread on a baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes until the brie is melted and bubbly.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately to enjoy the gooey cheese and warm flavors at their best.

Notes

  • Shape the bread into a tree or wreath form on the baking sheet for a festive presentation.
  • Serve immediately after baking for the best texture and melty cheese experience.
