Method
How to Make Cranberry Brie Pull Apart Bread
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cut the loaf using a serrated knife, making vertical and horizontal cuts while ensuring you don’t slice all the way through the bottom.
- Stuff each sliced opening with a piece of brie cheese and a spoonful of cranberry sauce. Sprinkle with fresh rosemary and add nuts if desired.
- Drizzle the melted butter generously over the top of the bread. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Wrap the stuffed bread in aluminum foil.
- Bake the wrapped bread on a baking sheet for 15 minutes. Unwrap and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Cool the bread for a few minutes after removing it from the oven.
- Serve warm, inviting your guests to enjoy pulling apart the cheesy, cranberry-filled pieces.
