Description
Imagine the irresistible aroma of buttery, herb-infused bread, laced with melted brie and tangy cranberry sauce – this is the essence of Cranberry Brie Pull-Apart Bread. As the holiday season approaches, this show-stopping appetizer is a must-have for any festive gathering.
Ingredients
- 1 large round sourdough bread
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 (16 oz) wheel of brie, chopped or cubed
- 1 1/2 cups whole berry cranberry sauce
- Kosher salt, to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Using a sharp bread knife, cut the sourdough bread into a crosshatch pattern.
3. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the dried thyme, dried rosemary, and a pinch of kosher salt.
4. Carefully stuff the cubed brie pieces into the cuts of the bread, making sure they are evenly distributed.
5. Spoon the cranberry sauce into the cuts, pressing it down between the bread cubes and cheese.
6. Generously brush the herb butter all over the top of the bread.
7. Place the prepared bread on the lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the brie is melted and bubbly, and the bread is golden and crispy.
8. Remove the bread from the oven, let it cool slightly, and serve it warm.
Notes
Any leftover bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
To reheat, place the bread in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-10 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted again.
