Cranberry Brie Pull Apart Bread
Cranberry Brie Pull-Apart Bread is a deliciously decadent appetizer that combines the rich, creamy flavor of Brie cheese with the sweet-tartness of cranberry sauce, all nestled between layers of soft, golden bread.
Ingredients
- 1 ( (1 1/2 to 1 3/4 pounds) round or oval sourdough loaf or crusty Italian bread, unsliced
- 5 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 (8-ounce) wheel Brie cheese, cut lengthwise in 1-inch strips, then thinly sliced crosswise
- ⅓ cup dried cranberries
Instructions
- Collect all the ingredients.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with foil. Using a serrated knife, make diagonal cuts about 1 inch apart on the top of the bread, ensuring not to cut all the way through to the bottom.
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, honey, rosemary, thyme, pepper, and salt until well combined.
- Carefully separate the bread along the cuts and drizzle half of the butter mixture evenly over the exposed areas.
- Fill the cuts with slices of Brie and cranberries, packing them in as you work your way through.
- Set the loaf on the prepared baking sheet and pour the remaining butter mixture over the top, ensuring it's evenly coated.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the Brie has melted and the bread is golden and crispy. Serve right away for the best flavor and texture.
