Ingredients
- 3 (8-oz.) wheels Brie cheese, cold
- Honey or jam, for garnishing
- Toasts or crackers, for serving
Instructions
- Using a serrated knife, remove the entire rind from each wheel of Brie. Let the cheese come to room temp then add it to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
- Beat the cheese on medium speed until it becomes smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed, about 10 minutes. (See Kelly's Notes.)
- Transfer the whipped Brie to a serving plate then drizzle with honey or jam and serve with toasts or crackers for dipping.
Notes
- Do not try to halve this recipe. You need a minimum of three wheels of Brie so that it beats together in the stand mixer bowl and becomes light and pillowy.
- The Brie will be very stiff once you start beating it. After 10 minutes, it will lighten in color and texture.
- Topping Variations:
- Roasted grapes and extra-virgin olive oil with thyme: Toss red grapes in olive oil and roast at 400°F for 15 minutes until blistered before adding to the brie. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with fresh thyme.
- Strawberry balsamic: Use a balsamic glaze (reduction) rather than thin vinegar for the best texture.
- Toasted pistachios and hot honey: Toast the nuts in a dry pan for 2–3 minutes until fragrant to unlock the best flavor.
- Candied pecans and maple syrup
- Red pepper jelly and microgreens
