The Absolute Best Accompaniments To Serve With Brie Cheese
By Crystal Antonace
Brie cheese has a buttery, nutty taste that makes the perfect addition to any charcuterie board, and if you’re looking for the best foods to pair it with, we’ve got you covered.
If you want to keep it simple, pair brie with a crusty loaf of bread or your favorite multigrain crackers, which will ensure that brie’s creamy taste doesn’t get lost in the mix.
Brie also tends to get paired with acid-rich fruits like blueberries and apples, honey, or a favorite jam or jelly, all of which counterbalance the creaminess of the cheese.
If you want to pair your brie with nuts, go for a mellow, unsalted, or candied variety to complement the brie's delicate texture — raw pecans in particular are perfect.
You can also enjoy a cooked version, such as baked brie with fig jam, which has a puff pastry wrapped around a wheel of brie and cooks in the oven for 20 minutes.
