Easy Whipped Brie Appetizer (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
One 12-ounce wheel of brie cheese
02 -
Assorted toppings of your choice
03 -
Crackers, toasted bread, or crudités for serving
# Instructions:
01 -
While your brie is still cold from the fridge, take a sharp knife and carefully slice away the white rind from all sides. Cut the cheese into small chunks and transfer them to your mixing bowl. Let the pieces sit at room temperature for a bit - this softens them up and makes the whipping process much smoother.
02 -
Set your mixer to medium speed and let it run for about 8 to 10 minutes. Don't worry when the brie looks stubborn and chunky at first - just keep the mixer going! It'll gradually break down and transform into a gloriously smooth, cloud-like spread.
03 -
Scoop your whipped brie into a beautiful serving bowl or spread it on a plate. Now comes the fun part - pile on your favorite toppings or arrange them on the side so everyone can create their perfect bite!
# Notes:
01 -
Get creative with toppings! Try sweet fig preserves, orange marmalade, homemade cranberry relish, golden honey drizzle, rich balsamic reduction, spicy hot honey, fruity olive oil, crunchy toasted pistachios, glazed pecans, ruby pomegranate seeds, fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme, seasonal berries, or fiery chili oil.
02 -
Serve alongside crispy crostini, your favorite crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
03 -
Make sure to use a full 12-ounce wheel - smaller portions won't whip properly and tend to stick to the bowl's sides instead of blending smoothly.
04 -
Nutritional values are estimated for plain whipped brie only (about 1.5 ounces per serving) and don't include any toppings or accompaniments.
