We Love Baked Brie with Berries!

It’s surprising how easily this elegant appetizer comes together! Our Baked Brie with blackberries recipe is both sweet and savory, smooth and crispy! We love the dramatic contrast of the dark blackberry sauce against the pale, yellow color of the baked brie, and yes, the rind is edible.

Baked Brie with Berries ingredients

Ingredients 

BRIE CHEESE – Brie is unique for its distinct buttery, rich flavor, and its earthy aroma.

FRUIT – Our recipe for baked brie is accented with a fruity, sweet fruit compote sauce. Here, we use blackberries, but any fresh berry will do! In a pinch for time? Use strawberry jam or any jar of fruit preserves.

FLAVORINGS – Rosemary and honey with lemon create a contrasting palate and layers of flavor!

Variations

  • Experiment with different fruit and flavor combinations like strawberry jalapeno jam, garnished with roasted strawberries, or apricot preserves mixed with freshly chopped mint.
  • Make a raspberry baked brie by substituting raspberries for the blackberries but add a dash or two of balsamic vinegar to the saucepan for a savory depth of flavor.
  • A popular favorite is baked brie with raspberry jam topped with toasted nuts like walnuts or almonds or chopped dried fruit as a garnish.
  • Wheels of brie can also be prepared en croute (wrapped) in puff pastry, phyllo dough, or refrigerated crescent rolls, brushed with egg white (for a shiny coating), and then baked.

Tips and Tricks

  • Prior to baking, let brie come to room temperature so it bakes evenly and properly spills out of the rind when it’s sliced open.
  • Roasting nuts intensifies their flavor and keeps them extra crunchy. Simply sauté the nuts in a dry pan until they are barely browned and fragrant.
  • Jams are made with the fruit and juice of a fruit, while preserves are made with the fruit, juice, and peel. For example, a marmalade is also a preserve. Preserves provide more texture and visual appeal.

Got Leftovers?

Leftover baked brie, no matter what kind of fruit it’s prepared with makes an excellent filling for stuffed chicken breasts and pork chops! Leftover brie is absolutely delicious as a spread on a ham or turkey sandwich, too!

  1. If you switch to raspberries, how would you alter the ingredients in sauce pan? Add balsamic vinegar and what else — still honey, lemon, lemon zest etc? Thank you!
