Ingredients
- 1 round loaf sourdough or French boule
- 8 ounces wheel brie cheese cut into small squares, see notes
- 1 cup cranberry sauce homemade or store-bought
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme optional
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons honey to garnish optional to garnish
- fresh Rosemary to garnish, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F, and line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil wrap.
- Using a serrated knife, cut the 1 round loaf sourdough from the top nearly to the bottom in a 1-inch diagonal diamond shape. Make sure you do not cut all the way through the bread.
- In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 2 tablespoons fresh thyme if using. Mix gently.
- Gently pull the bread open at the cuts, and using a brush, evenly brush the bread with the oil mixture. Adding some in between the cuts.
- Stuff the bread with the 8 ounces wheel brie cheese squares into all the pockets/slits.
- Next, add about 1 teaspoon of the 1 cup cranberry sauce into the same spots with the brie cheese.
- Transfer the bread to the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the brie is melted.
- Add some Fresh rosemary sprigs to garnish. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons honey if using, and serve.

Notes
- Notes: I felt like 1 (8-ounce) wheel of brie cheese was enough. Feel free to use more and stuff it with more cheese. In that case, you may need to use 12-16 ounces.
- Use any bread of your choice
- Instead of olive oil, you can use butter
- Try adding chopping pecans or walnuts to it as well before baking.
- The honey drizzle is optional but adds a nice touch
- You may or may not use or add fresh herbs.
