What goes well with French Brie?

Question

apart from just bread..are there any nice recipes?
I find that eating it with some vegetables leaves a horrible soapy test..but I'd like to combine it with something other than bread.

Vegetarian suggestions please!

Answer 1

My fav is to put the brie inside puff pastry {available in frozen section of store with pie crusts} on top of the brie put walnuts, slivered almonds, pine nuts, or pecans {I toast them first in a dry cast iron skillet}, then maybe some melted apricot or peach jam, or some brown sugar & cinn & nutmeg, close up the puff pastry pinching the seams closed. You can make it look like a bag by pleating the top & putting a piece of pastry like a rope around it or make a bow, etc. and if you eat eggs, you can beat an egg with a little water & brush on the "bag"

Then just bake at the temp {usually 400 degrees} suggested on the pastry box for about 15 mins or until a pretty golden brown; served with a salad this makes a complete meal!

Answer 2

I had a roommate last year that put a little Brie and diced apples in a flattened chicken breat, then rolled them up and baked them. It was fantastic with some shepherd's bread and glazed carrots.

Answer 3

I prefer my brie either with a baguette and things like thinly sliced french ham, pepper salami, sopresatta, or in scrambled eggs with sliced green onion and mushrooms!

Answer 4

French Brie is delicious with grapes, pears and apples

Answer 5

Wine.

A nice French red, like a Bordeaux.
