Ingredients
1 round loaf sourdough bread
4 tablespoons butter
2/3 cup raw pecans, chopped
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 (16-ounce) wheel of Brie, cubed
1 cup dried cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the sourdough loaf into a grid pattern: vertical cuts about 1 inch apart, then horizontal cuts, not cutting all the way through the bottom.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, chopped pecans, and brown sugar.
- Stuff the grid sections with Brie cubes and dried cranberries. Drizzle the butter-pecan mixture over the top.
- Wrap the loaf loosely in foil and bake 15–20 minutes until cheese begins to melt. Unwrap and bake another 5–10 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Serve warm, pulling apart pieces of gooey, cheesy goodness.
Notes
Substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds for different crunch.
Add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for a savory twist.
Swap dried cranberries with dried cherries or figs.
Use a cheddar or gouda cheese blend instead of Brie for stronger flavor.
