Ingredients
- 1 pound triple cream brie cheese (cold)
- Optional toppings: chopped olives, fresh thyme leaves, honey, or jam of choice
- To serve: crackers, chips, baguette slices, or fresh veggies
Instructions
- Prepare the Brie: Take the brie cheese out of the fridge and, using a sharp knife, carefully cut off the rind without removing too much of the cheese underneath.
- Cut and Blend: Cut the brie into cubes and place them in a food processor. Allow the cheese to come to room temperature, then blend on high speed until smooth. Pause every minute to scrape down the sides to ensure even blending. Alternatively, you can use an electric mixer.
- Serve and Garnish: Once the cheese is completely smooth and fluffy, scrape it into a serving bowl. Optionally, top with chopped olives and fresh thyme for a savory touch or drizzle with honey or your favorite jam for sweetness. Serve with crackers, chips, baguette slices, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
Notes
- Removing the rind carefully is important to maintain the creamy texture without bitterness.
- Letting the cheese warm to room temperature before blending helps achieve a smoother spread.
- Feel free to customize toppings and serve alongside your favorite dippers.
- Triple cream brie is preferred for extra creaminess, but standard brie can be used in a pinch.
