Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Using a sharp knife, score the top of the sourdough loaf in a pull-apart pattern, being careful not to cut all the way through.
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Generously brush the mixture over the scored loaf, allowing it to seep into each crack.
Fill each scored section with slices of brie and spoonfuls of cranberry sauce.
Place the filled loaf on a baking sheet and garnish with extra thyme and rosemary sprigs.
Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and serve warm.

Notes

Use day-old sourdough for best texture. You can experiment with different melting cheeses if desired.
