Cranberry Brie Pull-Apart Bread is a festive, crowd-pleasing appetizer with sweet and tangy cranberry sauce and creamy, melty brie. This pull-apart bread is perfect for holiday gatherings, as each bite delivers a delicious combination of buttery bread, melted brie cheese, spicy jalapeños, and tangy cranberry sauce. It’s a dish that’s simple to assemble and impressive to serve.
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the loaf of bread on a cutting board and use a bread knife to cut a crosshatch pattern (1-inch squares) across the top, stopping just before you reach the bottom of the loaf to keep it intact.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with chopped rosemary and thyme. Gently separate the bread pieces and brush the herby butter in the cuts. Reserve a bit of butter for brushing on top of the loaf at the end.
Place slices of brie and spoonfuls of cranberry sauce in between the cuts. Try to distribute them evenly so that every piece has a bit of both cheese and cranberry. Brush the reserved butter on top of the bread and top with sliced jalapeños.
Place the loaf on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the brie is fully melted and the top of the bread is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and garnish. Serve warm, with small forks or toothpicks for easy pulling.
