Instructions
Place the round loaf on a cutting board. Use a serrated knife to cut crosshatch slices (1-inch apart), being careful not to slice all the way through the bottom crust.
Cut the brie into small ½-inch cubes. Insert cheese cubes into the cracks of the bread, distributing evenly throughout.
Spoon small amounts of cranberry sauce or preserves into the bread cuts, placing them alongside the brie.
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, rosemary, honey, and a pinch of salt. Drizzle or brush the mixture over the top of the bread and into the crevices.
Wrap the bread loosely in foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 15–20 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 5–7 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
Transfer to a serving platter, drizzle with more honey, and serve immediately. Pull-apart pieces using tongs or fingers.
