Ingredients

  • 10 oz brie, triple cream recommended (refrigerated)
  • 1 cup strawberries, tops removed (quartered)
  • 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • fresh basil, for topping

Instructions

  1. Remove the rind from the brie and set aside (if using as a crispy topper). Cube the brie into large chunks.
  2. If using the brie rinds, preheat the oven to 400ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer the rinds to the baking sheet and season with a little bit of freshly cracked pepper.
  3. Transfer to the oven and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, flipping halfway through, until just starting to brown and turn crispy. Set aside and then roughly chop.
  4. Meanwhile, add the strawberries to a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the balsamic and honey and cook, stirring often, until softened, about six to seven minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  5. Add the brie to a food processor and process on high until completely smooth and airy, about eight to ten minutes.
  6. Dollop the brie on a platter or plate and use a spatula to smooth it out.
  7. Top with the strawberries, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and honey. Top with basil and a pinch of flaky salt. Serve with crostini and enjoy!
