Description
This warm, gooey cranberry brie pull-apart bread is a show-stopping appetizer that’s as easy as it is irresistible. Sweet-tart cranberry sauce melts into creamy Brie, all tucked inside a crusty loaf of bread—pull apart, serve, and watch it disappear.
Ingredients
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup water
½ cup fresh squeezed orange juice
8 oz fresh cranberries
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 round loaf of bread (rye, sourdough, or similar)
1 wheel of Brie cheese
Fresh thyme, for garnish
Instructions
Make the Cranberry Sauce: In a saucepan, combine sugars, water, orange juice, cranberries, and cinnamon. Simmer over medium heat until cranberries burst and mixture thickens (about 10–12 minutes). Cool slightly.
Prepare the Bread: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the bread in a crisscross pattern, leaving the bottom intact to hold it together.
Fill It Up: Cut the Brie into thin slices and tuck them between the bread cuts. Spoon cranberry sauce into the crevices over the cheese.
Bake: Wrap the loaf loosely in foil and bake for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake another 10–15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Finish & Serve: Sprinkle with fresh thyme. Serve warm and pull apart to enjoy.
