Ingredients
  

1 round or oval loaf of freshly baked bread

1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries (if frozen, thawed)

1 cup Brie cheese, cut into small cubes

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Optional: 1/4 cup pecans, chopped

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s adequately heated for baking.

    Prepare the Bread: With a sharp serrated knife, make diagonal cuts across the loaf of bread in both directions to create a diamond pattern. Make sure not to cut all the way through to the bottom; the base should remain intact to prevent the bread from falling apart.

      Mix the Filling: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cranberries, cubes of Brie cheese, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, chopped rosemary, and salt. If you’re adding pecans, toss them in the mixture as well for added crunch.

        Stuff the Bread: Carefully pull apart the sections of the bread and evenly stuff the cranberries and Brie mixture into each crevice. Fill generously but handle gently to avoid tearing the bread too much.

          Apply Egg Wash: Use a brush to coat the entire surface of the loaf with the beaten egg. This will give the bread a rich, golden crust as it bakes.

            Bake the Bread: Place the stuffed bread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the exterior of the bread is crispy and golden-brown.

              Serve: Allow the bread to cool for about 5 minutes after taking it out of the oven. Serve warm, letting guests pull apart the gooey, cheesy pieces filled with tart cranberries. This delightful dish works perfectly as an appetizer or a crowd-pleasing party snack!
