Notes

I love to play around with different flavor combinations, adding in different nuts and fruits to my brie. Here are some of my other favorites.

Caramelize diced apples or pears in some brown sugar and add in a bit of cinnamon.

Top the brie with your favorite flavor of jam. Raspberry jam, strawberry jam, fig jam or apricot jam and brie are a great combo. A pepper jelly would be good too.

Leftover cranberry sauce from Thanksgiving is delish on the brie!

Caramelized onions with a few teaspoons of brown sugar or balsamic glaze added in and then put on top of brie.

Top the cheese with some honey and add your favorite nut such as pecans, almonds or walnuts.

Sprinkle the top of the brie with some fresh herbs such as fresh rosemary or fresh thyme.
