Cheesy Pull-Apart Sourdough with Brie and Cranberry

A rustic sourdough loaf scored into a pull-apart pattern, filled with rich Brie cheese, vibrant cranberry sauce, and brushed with aromatic garlic herb butter before baking to golden, melty perfection

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf store-bought sourdough bread (unsliced)
  • 6 oz Brie cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper to create the garlic herb butter.
  3. Using a sharp bread knife, score the sourdough loaf into a crisscross pattern, cutting about 1-inch deep but not all the way through the bottom.
  4. Stuff the scored sections with Brie cheese cubes and cranberry sauce, filling each compartment generously.
  5. Brush the entire loaf generously with the garlic herb butter, making sure it gets into the cuts.
  6. Wrap the loaf loosely in foil and place it on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Let it cool slightly before serving warm.

Notes

For best results, use a fresh loaf of sourdough. If you prefer a crispier crust, bake unwrapped for the last 10 minutes. Serve as an appetizer or with a side salad.
