Brie is best when paired with ...

Thoughts?

We warmed some tortillas over the grill this past weekend and melted some brie over gala apples - they were incredible!

What are some of the ways you cook with brie?

Keeping it simple, I'd suggest a baguette and an acidic Chardonnay, like a French Chablis.

Too many Chardonnay products from California are over-oaked, and forced through malolactic fermentation. This secondary fermentation results in a buttery flavor, at the expense of lower acid and reduced fruit flavors. The French style is higher in acidity, which contrasts with the richness of the cheese.

My personal favorite is to pour some Kahlua over the Brie and top with some pecans. Warm it up a little and eat on a cracker.

Brie + dried cranberries + chopped raw pecans + caramel sauce over the top + 15-minutes in a 350* oven.

Crazy good with toasted crostini.

Triple cream is even better.

Fresh tomatos, balsamic vinegar and greens, piled on a slice of baguette.

Good brie is best paired with a fork.

Cheese is one of those things that makes me miss living in France. The better the cheese, the best it is on it's own with a glass of wine.


I do like brie, ham and leeks in my frittata.

My favorite? Brie. Bacon. Fresh Halibut. Baked together with copius amounts of butter, cream and white wine. Maybe a hint of chalot. Yum.

Can't believe nobody has yet said: Figs.

Warm brie + figs + good crusty bread = happy happy.

Yep. I'm officially buying copious amounts of brie next time I'm at the store to try out all these combinations! There a few in here that I've never tried before and am definitely looking forward to giving them a go.
