Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large round sourdough bread loaf
- 8 oz Brie cheese, sliced
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the sourdough loaf on a cutting board. Use a bread knife to make crosswise cuts into the bread, creating a grid pattern. Be careful not to cut all the way through, leaving the base intact.
- Insert Brie cheese slices into the cuts in the bread, distributing evenly.
- Spoon cranberry sauce into the cuts, spreading it for even coverage.
- Sprinkle chopped rosemary over the top of the bread.
- Drizzle melted butter over the entire loaf, allowing it to seep into the cuts.
- Wrap the bread in aluminum foil and bake for 15-20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the bread is crispy and the cheese is melted.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of sea salt, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- For Extra Flavor: Add a minced garlic clove to the melted butter before drizzling.
- Herb Alternatives: Try fresh thyme or sage if you prefer a different herb profile.
- Storage: Wrap any leftovers in foil and refrigerate for up to 2 days. To reheat, place in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes.
- Make Ahead: Prep the bread up to the baking step, wrap it, and refrigerate for up to 6 hours. Bake when ready to serve.
