Description
A warm, savory-sweet appetizer featuring a hollowed sourdough loaf filled with garlic-herb butter, creamy brie, and tart cranberry sauce, baked until golden and gooey.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 large round sourdough loaf
- 8 oz brie cheese, rind removed and cubed
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice off the top of the sourdough loaf and hollow out the center, leaving a 1-inch thick shell. Reserve removed bread for another use.
- In a bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Spread the garlic-herb butter mixture evenly inside the hollowed loaf and over the top crust.
- Layer half the cubed brie in the bottom of the loaf, followed by the cranberry sauce, then the remaining brie.
- Place the top back on the loaf and wrap the entire loaf in aluminum foil. Bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the top is golden and the cheese is bubbly. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
