Cranberry Brie Pull-Apart Bread

Cranberry Brie Pull-Apart Bread

Healthy Fact of the Day

While Cranberry Brie Pull-Apart Bread is a delicious treat, it's high in calories and fat. To make it slightly healthier, use whole grain bread for added fiber and nutrients. Cranberries are rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, offering some nutritional benefits. Brie provides calcium and protein, but is high in saturated fat. To lighten the dish, you could reduce the amount of cheese and butter, or use a lighter cheese like part-skim mozzarella. Adding more herbs or a sprinkle of spinach between cuts can increase nutrient content. Remember, this is best enjoyed as an occasional indulgence. Consider serving alongside a large salad to balance the meal.

Ingredients

 

  • 1 large round sourdough bread loaf
  • 1 wheel of Brie cheese (about 8 oz), rind removed and cubed
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Cut the bread in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to slice all the way through the bottom crust.

  3. In a small saucepan, combine cranberries, honey, and 1 tbsp water.

  4. Cook over medium heat until cranberries burst and mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. In a bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, olive oil, and orange zest.

  6. Gently separate the bread cuts and brush the butter mixture into the crevices.

  7. Stuff Brie cubes and spoonfuls of cranberry mixture between the cuts.

  8. Sprinkle chopped rosemary, pecans, salt, and pepper over the bread.

  9. Wrap the loaf in foil and place on a baking sheet.

  10. Bake for 15 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes until cheese is melty and bread is crispy.

  11. Serve immediately while warm and gooey.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
