Description

This Cranberry Brie Sourdough Pull-Apart Bread is a festive and flavorful appetizer perfect for holiday gatherings. Combining the sweetness of cranberry sauce, the creaminess of Brie cheese, and the fresh aroma of rosemary, all stuffed into a rustic sourdough loaf, this pull-apart bread is a crowd-pleaser. Easy to make and even easier to enjoy, it’s the perfect centerpiece for any holiday meal or casual get-together.

Ingredients

1 round sourdough bread loaf

1 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)

8 oz Brie cheese, cut into small pieces

2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: additional rosemary for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut the bread: Using a sharp knife, slice the sourdough loaf in a crosshatch pattern, making deep cuts but not slicing all the way through the bottom.
  3. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine cranberry sauce, Brie cheese, and chopped rosemary. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Fill the bread: Place the bread on the prepared baking sheet. Gently pull apart the cuts in the bread and spoon the cranberry-Brie mixture into each cut.
  5. Brush with butter: Drizzle melted butter over the top and sides of the bread.
  6. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with additional rosemary if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

For a Crunchy Texture: Brush the bread with more butter before serving for an extra crispy finish.

Make-Ahead Tip: Assemble the bread a day in advance and refrigerate. Bake when you’re ready to serve.

Cheese Variations: While Brie works wonderfully, you can also use Camembert or goat cheese for a different flavor profile.

Gluten-Free Version: Use gluten-free sourdough bread to make this recipe gluten-free.
