Johanon

This delightful appetizer combines the tangy flavor of sourdough bread with creamy Brie cheese and sweet cranberry sauce, all enhanced by a savory garlic herb butter.

Ingredients

For the Bread:

1 large sourdough loaf

1 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)

8 oz (225 g) Brie cheese, sliced into small wedges

For the Garlic Herb Butter:

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

1/2 teaspoon salt

For Garnish:

Fresh rosemary sprigs

Fresh thyme sprigs

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Bread

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place the sourdough loaf on a large sheet of foil. Using a serrated knife, score the bread in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 2: Stuff the Bread

  1. Gently open the scored sections of the bread and stuff each gap with a slice of Brie and a spoonful of cranberry sauce.

Step 3: Make the Garlic Herb Butter

  1. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, and salt. Mix well.
  2. Brush the garlic herb butter generously over the entire loaf, letting it seep into the cracks.

Step 4: Bake the Bread

  1. Wrap the stuffed loaf loosely in foil, leaving the top slightly exposed to prevent over-steaming.
  2. Bake for 15 minutes, then unwrap the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

  1. Transfer the bread to a rustic wooden board. Garnish with fresh rosemary and thyme sprigs.
  2. Serve immediately, pulling apart the sections for a warm, gooey, and festive appetizer.

Tips for Success

Use day-old sourdough for better structure during stuffing and baking.

Add a sprinkle of crushed walnuts or pecans for extra texture and flavor.

Serve with a side of extra cranberry sauce for dipping.
