This Whipped Brie Cheese Spread with Honey is a creamy, dreamy dish that marries the complex buttery notes of the Brie with a hint of sweetness. An easy, elegant dish that is perfect for spreading on crackers, baguette slices or fresh fruit that is bound to impress at any gathering.
Sauté the garlic – In a very small pan on very low heat, melt your butter and add your garlic, thyme, rosemary and parsley. Cook until the garlic is fragrant and golden, then cool for a moment.
Whip the Brie – Remove the rind from the Brie and cut into small chunks and place it in the food processor. Blend until the cheese is light, smooth and fluffy.
Top the Brie with the Garlic Mixture — Spoon the whipped Brie into a serving dish and spread the warm buttery sautéed garlic and herbs all over the surface. I recommend letting it sit for a few minutes for the flavors to meld.
Drizzle with Honey – Next, drizzle more honey onto the Brie piece, allowing it to seep into the garlic and herbs (this gives a nice balance of sweet and savory in the finished product).
Serve & Enjoy – Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired, and serve with crackers or toasted bread for the coveted creamy, flavorful bite.
NOTES
Use Room Temperature Brie – Allow the Brie to come to room temperature before whipping for a smooth, creamy texture.
Don’t Burn the Garlic — Sauté the garlic very gently so it doesn’t burn, which would give it a bitter flavor.
Serve Fresh for Best Texture – Although they can be stored, whipped Brie is the creamiest and fluffiest served straight from the bowl.
