Brie. need some recipe ideas

MrsRogers

I love Brie ... it makes the most fab cheese on toast and I put a little chutney with mine too:j

I also like it stuffed into chicken breasts and wrap them in bacon mmmmm

My favourite sandwich is brie or other soft blue cheese with sliced avocado and possibly some crunchy lettuce. If you leave the stone in the avocado and cover it closely with cling film then you can store it in the fridge and not use it all at once. Why not have a treaty sandwich just for you if the family won't eat it?
Alternatively Google "brie recipes" and loads of ideas will appear

I confess I love ham and brie sandwiches, their flavours compliment each other wonderfully....

Another way is cook pasta, fry some onions and peppers in olive oil. when cooked mix together them add the brie (broken in to small pieces) so it melts into the pasta. lovely

Brie and cranberry sandwiches and baguettes are so lovely.....

I love ripe Brie and halved grapes on crusty white baguette

I'll add this to the existing thread to give you more ideas.

I am clearing my fridge out and found some brie to be used up in a couple of days. Has anyone got any recipe ideas for using it up and creating a meal? Thank you in advance.:)

This thread may help: Brie, need some recipe ideas

It's not a recipe but whenever we have leftover brie, DH loves it in a panini with ham and tomato (if we have any in) which I toast until the cheese is beginning to melt. Although he doesn't often have leftover brie, the whole chunk usually gets polished off in one go! :rotfl:

Brie in a baguette with avocado and crispy bacon, and some cranberry sauce if liked.

Cut into equal sized bits, coat in beaten egg and cover in breadcrumbs or polenta. Bake on tray fro about 10-15 mins and serve with cranberry sauce

Thank you so much for your replies all sounds lovely, thats tomorrow sorted. I really like the sound of brie in breadcrumbs, I have some ham as well so will have that with it.:j

It's lovely deep fried. Toss in flour, dip in beaten egg, coat in breadcrumbs, and deep fry at about 180º just for a couple of minutes till the crumbs are nicely browned and crispy. Yes it's unhealthy, but cheese isn't exactly low fat to begin with :rotfl:

It goes really well with a bit of rocket and some redcurrant jelly, if you happen to have any. You could heat up a little bit in a saucepan with a splash of sherry and serve it as a sauce. Or as dizzydux said it's great with cranberry too.
