Product Information

Beyond these basic ideas for pairing, the options are endless. If you would like to keep exploring how to eat Brie, Président has a myriad of seasonal cheese plate ideas. Président’s guide to putting together the perfect cheese and charcuterie plate is also sure to inspire. Gourmet Burger Topping: Add a dollop of whipped brie onto your burgers just before serving. It adds a luxurious and creamy touch to your grilled patties. OPTIONAL: If desired, add 2 tablespoons of heavy cream or milk or olive oil to the brie cheese. This will help achieve a creamier, looser consistency. Process the mixture until the brie cheese is smooth and whipped. This usually takes a few minutes, depending on the power of your food processor or blender. You may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally to ensure everything is well incorporated.( Do NOT mix too much or the brie will beak down to runniness.)

Sweet/Dessert Wines: Sweet or dessert wines can create a delightful contrast with the richness of brie. Consider: The go-to beverage to pair with Brie is champagne. But Brie also pairs fantastically with certain wines and beers. Soft and fruity red wines, such as Pinot Noir, will contrast beautifully with the mellowness of Brie. Acidic, herbaceous, dry white wines like Sauvignon Blanc will also work well. Whatever tool you use, Whip the brie until it becomes smooth and fluffy. Make sure that any remaining rind is well incorporated. Create a French-influenced lunch sandwich by warming your baguette slices in the oven. Bake for ten minutes to get the bread toast. Then add the cut cheese to make a gooey sandwich. Add your favourite ham and top with arugula; add halved cherry tomatoes or a balsamic glaze for extra flavour. Lay a sheet of aluminum foil over the rinds, then place another baking sheet on top to weigh it down.Once softened, simply slice your brie into small wedges, without removing the edible, flavorful rind. Perfect for salads, sandwiches, and pasta, your brie is ready to be enjoyed in a variety of delectable dishes.

We found taking the roughest part off and leaving the rest worked well. Whatever you choose to do about the rind, it’s a good idea to wash the rind so its clean before you whip the cheese. Is Brie Healthy? Here are some nutritional aspects of brie cheese. Whipping it makes no material difference to the nutritional value of brie: Brie stops aging after you slice it, so eat is as soon as possible to avoid having it spoil on you. If you have to store it, wrap it up in parchment or wax paper and keep it in a refrigerator drawer away from moisture.

#4 NATURAL SELECTION

To eat Brie, first remove it from your refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This allows the brie to become softer and more flavorful as it warms. Store-bought puff pastry is a huge time-saver when it comes to easy holiday entertaining. Beyond the ease of store-bought puff pastry, Président Spreadable Brie is easy to use and bakes up beautifully creamy and full of flavour. Once baked, top your warm Brie filled pastries with any variety of jam or spread you already have on hand. Sauternes: This luscious and honeyed dessert wine from Bordeaux can beautifully complement the creamy, slightly salty brie. Whipping brie shortens its shelf life. After brie is whipped, the rind is removed or whipped in so it cannot protect the cheese. In a nutshell, whipping brie increases surface area available to spoilage, there is no longer a protective barrier, and the cheese can dry out faster. This impacts shelf life compared to whole wheel of brie or even wedges with the rind on.
