Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 12 soft dinner rolls (fluffy, slightly sweet preferred)
  • 8 oz Brie cheese (cut into bite-sized cubes, rind removed if desired)
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries

Finishing Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp butter (melted)
  • 1–2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for subtle sweetness)
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary (chopped, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bread rolls: Slice each dinner roll into bite-sized cubes or gently pull apart if using a cluster, making sure not to cut all the way through if using a cluster to keep the bites connected for easy pull-apart baking.
  2. Cube the brie: Cut the brie cheese into small, bite-sized cubes, removing the rind if you prefer a smooth melt and creamier texture.
  3. Combine ingredients: Stuff the brie cubes and dried cranberries carefully between each bread piece. If using fresh herbs, sprinkle chopped rosemary evenly throughout for aromatic flavor.
  4. Add the finishing touches: Brush the melted butter generously over the top of the rolls to encourage browning and add richness. Drizzle honey or maple syrup lightly over the top for a subtle sweetness that enhances the cranberries.
  5. Bake to perfection: Place the prepared bread cluster in a baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the tops are golden and inviting.

Notes

  • Use fresh rolls for the best texture and flavor; stale bread won’t pull apart as nicely.
  • Don’t overfill with brie and cranberries to ensure even baking and avoid mess.
  • Removing the brie rind is optional; it affects melting and texture based on preference.
  • Serve warm for the best experience while the brie is oozy and melted.
  • Line your baking dish with parchment paper or use a non-stick dish for easy cleanup.
