What to make with Brie

carriebradshaw

I never eaten brie before but I have been given some and want to try it. I was wondering what tried and tested easy -ish recipes old stylers might have beyond popping it in a baguette or simply baking please ? I have googled for recipes but so far been uninspired

If it's ripe, I'd eat at least some of it first to see whether or not you like it. There's no point wasting time and effort cooking it (quite unusual with Brie) when you might either like it so much that you just want to eat it normally or dislike it so much that you want to give it to the dog!

It's unopened and well in bb date, I find with some cheeses that I don't like theme until they've been cooked,like blue for instance.I wouldn't give it to the dog

Leave the skin on chicken breasts then gently lift the skin and stuff with a mixture of sliced Brie, mushrooms, cooked rice, parsley and seasoning. Season the skin, drizzle or spray with olive oil and bake for 20-25 mins until skin is crispy. Delish...!

I like Brie breadcrumbed and deep fried, really nice with some salad and cranberry sauce

Leave it out of the fridge for at least a couple of days before you try it. Unripe brie is like eating soft cardboard. Ripe Brie, on the other hand, is a is a soft smelly joy.

What about a potato and brie gratin?
Slice or cube potatoes and boil or steam until cooked, drain and place in casserole dish. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with chopped spring onions or chives. Dice brie and sprinkle over the top. Pour over some veg stock (you could use chicken or ham stock if you like). You could also add some cooked chopped bacon in too before adding the cheese if you fancy.
Bake in the oven for about 30 mins at 180C

If I've got a bit of brie left in the fridge, I like it on a bacon sandwich.
I wouldn't like to eat it in public though.

IMO brie is best served just as it is. Cooking ruins it! I once saw it used as a pizza topping - bizarre!

Fresh bread and a bit of chutney or similar (preferably sweet) - I like caramelised onion, and it's also often served with cranberry. Room temp or slightly warm is best - If you can't wait give the bit you're going to use a few seconds in the microwave.

Brie will be the first thing on my shopping list when my baby is born in a few weeks!
