Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large round sourdough loaf
- 8 oz Brie cheese, cut into slices
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Bread: Using a serrated knife, slice the top off the sourdough loaf, creating a lid. Hollow out the center of the loaf by carefully removing most of the bread, leaving about 1-inch around the edges.
- Make the Garlic Herb Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble the Stuffing: Place the hollowed-out loaf on a baking sheet. Brush the inside of the loaf with the garlic herb butter mixture. Layer slices of Brie cheese inside the bread, then spread a generous amount of cranberry sauce on top of the Brie. Continue layering until the bread is filled.
- Cover and Bake: Place the top of the loaf back on and brush the outside with the remaining garlic herb butter. Wrap the bread in foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the Brie is melted and the bread is golden.
- Serve: Remove the foil and allow the bread to cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
- You can use homemade cranberry sauce for a fresher taste, or opt for store-bought if you’re short on time.
- This recipe is customizable: feel free to add more herbs or use different cheese varieties (like goat cheese or cheddar) for variation.
- Serve with a side of crackers or fresh veggies for an extra crunch.
