Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Cheese
- 1 round sourdough bread loaf
- 8 oz brie cheese, cut into pieces
Fillings and Seasoning
- 1 cup cranberry sauce
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the bread.
- Prepare the bread: Cut the sourdough loaf into a grid pattern with deep slices, being careful not to cut all the way through to keep the loaf intact.
- Make garlic butter mixture: In a bowl, combine the melted butter with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, mixing well.
- Apply the butter mixture: Drizzle the garlic butter mixture into the cuts and crevices of the loaf to infuse flavor throughout.
- Stuff the bread: Insert pieces of brie cheese and dollops of cranberry sauce into each cut of the sourdough loaf, distributing evenly.
- Add parsley topping: Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top of the loaf to add color and fresh flavor.
- Bake wrapped: Wrap the loaf in foil to retain moisture and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
- Bake uncovered: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bread is golden.
Notes
- Make sure not to cut all the way through the bread to keep the loaf together.
- Use a good quality sourdough loaf for best flavor and texture.
- You can substitute cranberry sauce with raspberry or another fruit preserve if desired.
- Serve warm for optimal cheese melting and flavor.
- Leftovers can be reheated wrapped in foil to preserve moisture.
