Have you had brie?

Friend just brought me a bunch of it. Tried some. Consistency and flavors so alien, I'd believe it if you told me it was Martian cheese. Not bad, just odd. Do you cook with this shit? Spread on dainty crackers?

Are you eating it as a solid? The best way to eat Brie is to put the slab in a baking dish, throw some slivered almonds or walnuts on top and bake it until it's melted then shmear it on crusty garlic bread...or cracker of your choice...whole other animal

Brie is usually eaten as is with crackers or bread. It's not generally used in cooking. The only recipe I know of is baked brie. Wrap a whole wheel of it in several layers of filo dough and bake until the filo is brown and the brie is soft. Serve with some jam or fruit and, of course, crackers or bread. Brie is a very mild cheese. There are some truely alien cheeses out there.

@bostonspdo Thank you I appreciate the insight. What would you consider a very odd cheese?

Off hand, I don't have any names but many soft, ripe cheeses, especially from France but also Spain, Italy and other places including now the USA have very strong, pungent flavors. A group of cheeses called bloomy rind cheeses look weird but are actually relatively mild tasting. They are covered with a thick white layer (edible) of soft penicillin mold.

It's amazingly good baked with a little honey drizzled on top and almond slices. Spread on apple slices! F*cking heaven!

Don't eat it cold. It should always be served at room temperature when it's nice and runny. Great on toasted french bread.

@Madgirl You could have just said that without the attitude, but I guess that's your thing 😆

@DanielChristensen it's very good with berries too

Martian cheese!😂

I've used it with salads and fruits before in the past. Just google recipes to try. Experiments are fun.:)

@Scribbles A couple of brits took great umbrage to my lack of experience in the wonderful world of brie lol
Scribbles · 36-40, F
@DanielChristensen Cool.

Next time I see Brie, I'm going to think of you saying "Martian cheese". That's great. I love that. 😂

I've never had it and was curious about the recipes posted, always sold around holidays isn't it?
DanielChristensen · 46-50, M
@cherokeepatti Yeah I collected the recipes provided, I've got a full case. Our handymans wife told us her company buys and ends up discarding tons of food each month. Such a waste.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@DanielChristensen That is wasteful, you'd think they could mark it down before it went bad and get people to try it or give free samples, maybe they'd consider buying it then.

Yes many times, eaten with toast white often

I absolutely love brie!
I've spread it on water crackers, and some veggies. Never tried cooking with it, though.
DanielChristensen · 46-50, M
@bijouxbroussard I wonder what you could make with this shit. It's got such an odd flavor.
