Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil to catch any drips.
Prepare the Bread: Using a serrated knife, slice the sourdough loaf in a crosshatch pattern (like a checkerboard), cutting almost to the base but not all the way through.
Make the Garlic Herb Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Stuff the Loaf: Gently open the crevices of the bread and tuck slices of Brie into the cuts. Spoon the cranberry sauce into the pockets. Drizzle the garlic herb butter generously over the loaf, letting it seep into all the gaps.
Bake the Bread: Place the stuffed loaf on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the gooey, flavorful goodness with each pull-apart bite.

Notes

For added texture, sprinkle chopped walnuts or pecans into the bread before baking.

Feel free to swap Brie with other cheeses like goat cheese or camembert for different flavors.

If you prefer a spicy kick, add chili flakes to the garlic herb butter.
