Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 loaf sourdough bread
- 8 oz brie cheese
- 1 cup cranberry sauce
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 2 cloves garlic
Seasoning:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Your bread needs a perfectly warm environment to bake beautifully.
- Take a sharp serrated knife and carefully slice your sourdough loaf into a tight grid pattern. Keep the bottom connected so the bread stays together.
- Grab a mixing bowl and combine 8 oz of brie pieces, 1 cup of cranberry sauce, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and 2 tablespoons of chopped rosemary. Mix these ingredients thoroughly.
- Gently separate the bread’s cut sections and insert the brie-cranberry mixture into each opening. Distribute the filling evenly throughout the loaf.
- Transfer the loaded bread onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil across the surface and sprinkle salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Slide the bread into the 350°F oven and bake for exactly 25 minutes. Watch for a golden-brown crust and completely melted cheese.
- Remove from the oven and let the bread rest for 3-4 minutes. This allows the cheese to settle and makes pulling apart easier.
- Serve immediately while the cheese remains deliciously gooey and stretchy.
Notes
- Slice the bread carefully to keep the bottom intact, creating a grid that lets the filling peek through without falling apart.
- Select a creamy brie that melts smoothly and pairs well with the tangy cranberry sauce for balanced flavor complexity.
- For gluten-free options, swap sourdough with a gluten-free bread that holds its structure during baking.
- Fresh rosemary makes a significant difference, so skip dried herbs and use the fragrant, fresh version for maximum flavor impact.
