Ingredients
1 round crusty loaf (sourdough or French boule)
8 oz brie cheese, cubed
1 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Place the round loaf on a cutting board and slice in a crosshatch pattern—about 1-inch slices—being careful not to cut through the bottom.
3. Cut the brie into small cubes and stuff them into the crevices of the bread.
4. Spoon cranberry sauce evenly into the cracks over the cheese.
5. Brush melted butter all over the top and let it seep into the bread.
6. Sprinkle chopped rosemary on top if using.
7. Wrap the loaf loosely in foil and bake for 15–20 minutes.
8. Uncover and bake an additional 5–10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and the bread edges are golden.
9. Serve warm and enjoy while the cheese is melty and irresistible.
Notes
Use chilled brie for easier slicing and cleaner cubes.
Avoid cutting the bread all the way through—keeping the bottom intact holds it together.
This recipe is best served immediately but can be prepped ahead of time and baked later.
