Description
Cranberry Brie Pull-Apart Bread is a festive holiday appetizer made with a crusty boule stuffed with melted Brie, sweet-tart cranberry sauce, and fresh herbs. Warm, gooey, and shareable, it’s a show-stopping dish that’s easy to prepare and always a crowd favorite.
Ingredients
1 large boule
1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons freshly chopped rosemary
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 (8-oz.) wheel Brie, cut into thin strips
1 (15-oz.) can whole-berry cranberry sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a serrated knife, crosshatch the boule, slicing every inch in both directions without cutting through the bottom.
- In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Brush generously over bread, getting inside all the cuts.
- Stuff each cut with Brie slices and spoonfuls of cranberry sauce. Wrap the bread completely in foil.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, until cheese is melted and bread is toasty.
- Cool 5 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
Use homemade cranberry sauce for fresher flavor.
Swap herbs—sage or parsley also work well.
Add honey drizzle or crushed pecans for extra indulgence.
Reheat in oven wrapped in foil to keep bread from drying out.
