Rustic Sourdough Loaf with Brie & Cranberry

Rustic Sourdough Loaf with Brie & Cranberry

 

📝 Ingredients

 

1 large sourdough loaf (round or oval)

 

10 oz Brie cheese, sliced (rind on or off—your choice)

 

1 cup cranberry sauce (whole berry or homemade)

 

3 tbsp melted butter

 

2 cloves garlic, minced

 

1 tbsp fresh rosemary or thyme, finely chopped

 

Salt & pepper, to taste

 

(Optional toppings: chopped pecans, honey drizzle, or extra herbs)

 

 

 

👩‍🍳 Instructions

 

1. Prep the Bread

 

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

 

Place the sourdough loaf on a cutting board.

 

Using a serrated knife, cut deep crisscross slices into the loaf:

 

Slice almost to the bottom but don’t cut through.

 

Create 1–1½ inch “pull-apart” squares.

 

2. Prepare the Garlic Herb Butter

 

In a small bowl, mix:

 

melted butter

 

garlic

 

rosemary or thyme

 

salt & pepper

 

Brush a little into the cracks of the bread.

 

 

 

3. Add the Brie

 

Tuck slices (or chunks) of Brie into the cuts of the bread.

 

Stuff generously — the more Brie, the meltier it will be!

 

4. Add the Cranberry Sauce

 

Spoon small amounts of cranberry sauce into the cuts, alternating with the Brie.

 

Let some sit on top for extra flavor.

 

5. Top and Wrap

 

Drizzle the remaining garlic herb butter over the loaf.

 

Wrap the entire bread loosely in foil (not tightly—give it room to melt).

 

6. Bake

 

Bake 20 minutes covered.

 

Uncover and bake 10–15 more minutes until:

 

✔ Brie is fully melted

 

✔ Cranberry is bubbling

 

✔ Top is golden and crisp

 

7. Serve

 

Serve warm, pulling apart pieces with your hands or using tongs.

 

Optional: drizzle with honey, sprinkle pecans, or add extra fresh herbs on top.

 

Sweet, savory, melty, festive perfection! 🤤❤️

 

 

 

⭐ Optional Variations

 

Apple-Brie version: Add thin apple slices.

 

Savory twist: Add caramelized onions.

 

Nutty version: Add toasted pecans or walnuts.

 

Holiday upgrade: Brush with maple butter instead of garlic butter.
