1️⃣ Prepare the bread
Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F.
Place the sourdough on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut deep criss-cross lines across the loaf — like a grid — but do not cut all the way through the bottom.
2️⃣ Make garlic herb butter
In a small bowl, mix together:
-
Melted butter
-
Minced garlic
-
Chopped herbs
-
Salt & pepper
Brush this mixture generously into all the cuts of the bread.
3️⃣ Stuff the bread
Gently push:
-
Slices of brie into the cuts
-
Spoon cranberry sauce into different sections
Make sure the filling goes deep so it melts inside!
4️⃣ Wrap & bake
Wrap the bread loosely in aluminum foil and place on a baking tray.
Bake 15 minutes covered, then open the foil and bake another 10–15 minutes until:
✅ Cheese is fully melted
✅ Top is golden and crispy
5️⃣ Serve hot
Remove from oven and garnish with fresh herbs.
Serve warm and pull apart — CHEESY PERFECTION 😍
