Garlic Herb Sourdough Bread Stuffed with Brie and Cranberry Sauce 🧄🧀🍞
This gooey, cheesy delight wrapped in a crusty sourdough loaf and topped with tart cranberry sauce is a perfect centerpiece for any holiday table!
Ingredients:
1 round sourdough loaf
1 wheel of brie cheese (200-300g), sliced
1/2 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (plus extra for garnish)
1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
1 pinch of salt
Instructions:
Prepare the bread:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a serrated knife, slice the sourdough loaf in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Make the garlic butter:
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, and a pinch of salt.
Stuff the bread:
Gently pull apart the bread sections and brush the garlic herb butter into the crevices.
Insert slices of brie cheese into the cuts, ensuring even distribution.
Bake the loaf:
Place the stuffed bread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cover loosely with aluminum foil.
Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Add cranberry sauce:
Remove the loaf from the oven and spoon cranberry sauce over the top. Garnish with extra fresh thyme for a festive finish.
Serve warm:
Place the bread on a serving board and let everyone pull apart the cheesy, flavorful pieces.
Pro Tip: For an extra kick, add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes or a drizzle of honey before serving! 🌟
