Cranberry Brie Pull-Apart Bread
This is the ultimate crowd-pleasing appetizer for holidays or gatherings. Easy, elegant, and utterly delicious!
Ingredients
- 1 large round loaf of sourdough bread
- 8 oz Brie cheese cut into small cubes
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce homemade or store-bought
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- Fresh rosemary or thyme for garnish optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the sourdough loaf on the baking sheet. Using a serrated knife, cut the loaf in a crosshatch pattern to create 1-inch slices, being careful not to cut all the way through the base.
- Stuff each cut section of the bread with Brie cubes and spoon small amounts of cranberry sauce into the pockets for even distribution.
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, garlic powder, and thyme leaves until combined. Slowly drizzle the mixture over the entire loaf, focusing on the crevices.
- Cover the bread loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the top is golden and crispy.
- Let the bread cool slightly, then garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme leaves for an extra aromatic touch. Serve warm and enjoy pulling apart the gooey, flavorful bread!
