Recipe FAQ
- → How can I shape the Brie heart?
Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to gently press into a round Brie for a festive presentation. Alternatively, serve the Brie whole for a rustic look.
- → Can I warm the Brie before serving?
Yes, warming the Brie for 5–7 minutes at 180°C (350°F) softens it, adding a creamy texture that pairs wonderfully with the jams and fruits.
- → What jams work best on this board?
Raspberry and fig jams provide a sweet and tangy contrast, but apricot or cherry preserves are excellent substitutes to vary flavor profiles.
- → Are there suitable alternatives for nuts?
Roasted almonds or walnuts add crunch and depth, but feel free to omit or replace them with seeds or dried fruit for allergy-friendly options.
- → What drinks complement this board?
Light sparkling rosé or a delicate Pinot Noir enhance the fruity and creamy notes, creating a balanced tasting experience.
