- 1 loaf sourdough loaf, sliced into 2.5 cm pieces
- 240 g cranberries, fresh or dried
- 225 g brie cheese, cut into small cubes
Toppings
- 45 ml honey
- 28 g unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped (optional) Can experiment with different herbs.

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and lightly grease a baking dish.
- With a sharp knife, carefully cut the sourdough loaf into cubes, stopping just before reaching the base to maintain the loaf's structure.
- Gently insert cubed brie cheese and cranberries between the bread pieces, ensuring they are evenly distributed and packed in gently.
- Place the filled loaf in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the melted butter and honey evenly over the loaf, giving the mixture time to soak into the bread.
- Sprinkle fresh thyme and a pinch of salt on top for that extra aromatic touch.
Baking
- Cover the loaf with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Then, uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the top to turn golden and the cheese to melt through.
- Once baked, let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Pull apart the pieces to savor the incredible blend of textures and flavors.
Notes
Serve straight from the dish for a rustic presentation. Pair with a light salad or grilled chicken for a balanced meal. Consider serving with sparkling water or fruity iced tea.
