Looking for a simple appetizer for fall and winter gatherings? Try this bread that’s stuffed with pecans, dried cranberries and warm, ooey-gooey Brie cheese. It comes to us from Tieghan Gerard, cookbook author and founder of the blog Half Baked Harvest, who says the app is a hit with her family on both Thanksgiving and Christmas. All you need are six ingredients, including a loaf of sourdough bread from your favorite bakery or grocery store. That’s it! Simple to make and fun to eat—what more could you want during the holiday season.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 1 round loaf sourdough bread
  • 4 Tbs. (1/2 stick) (2 oz./60 g) unsalted butter
  • 2/3 cup (2 1/2 oz./75 g) raw pecans, chopped
  • 3 Tbs. brown sugar
  • One 16-oz. (500-g) wheel of Brie, cut into cubes
  • 1 cup (4 oz./125 g) dried cranberries

Directions

Preheat an oven to 350°F (180°C).

Cut the bread horizontally and vertically to create 1-inch (2.5-cm) cubes, being careful not to slice all the way through the bread.

In a small bowl, combine 2 Tbs. of the butter, the pecans and brown sugar. Using your hands, mix the butter and sugar into the pecans to form a crumble. Thinly slice the remaining 2 Tbs. butter and insert the slices into the loaf of bread.

Place the loaf in a Dutch oven and stuff the cubes of Brie inside the bread, filling in all the spaces between the cuts. Add the pecan mixture and the cranberries. Bake until the Brie is melted and gooey, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve immediately. Serves 6.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Delicious We made half with dried cherries and half with dried cranberries. We found Brie was easier to cut when cold, and also to press into the bread slits. We have tried it both ways! We made it with praline pecans because that is what we had on hand. Simply yummy!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolutely Delicious! Cranberry Brie Bread was absolutely delicious! Easy to make. I recommend swapping out the cranberries for cranraisins for a sweeter, less tart taste. Perfect side dish to accompany my annual Christmas Brunch featuring Shrimp Creole.
