Brie is a social cheese. It doesn’t like to be alone. Give it some friends to play with! Fresh fruit is a huge win. Sliced apples, pears, or even a handful of grapes create a sweet, crunchy contrast to the creamy, salty cheese.
Crusty bread is the classic partner. A baguette, sliced and lightly toasted, is the chariot that carries brie to your mouth. Crackers work too, but get the sturdy ones. Nobody likes a cracker that crumbles into a thousand sad, cheesy crumbs.
Feeling wild? Add a drizzle of honey or fig jam on top. It’s like giving the brie a tiny, delicious sweater. Also, a sprinkle of chopped walnuts or almonds adds a delightful crunch that screams, “I’m an adult who makes good choices.”
