  • Make with apricot preserves
  • Use red wine in place of the Brandy

Brie FAQ’s

Do you take the rind off Brie before baking?

It is best to remove the top rind of brie before baking.

Using a sharp knife cut horizontally across the top of the cheese, slicing off about 1/8-inch.

IBe sure to keep the sides and bottom rind on the cheese so it holds it’s shape when baking.

However, the rind is edible so you don’t have to cut off the top rind if you choose not to.

Is Brie a healthy cheese?

Brie is lower in fat than most other cheeses and also is low in carbohydrates. This makes Brie a good choice when looking for a healthier cheese.

What jam goes with Brie?

Almost any sweet or savory jam will complement the mild flavor of Brie cheese.

Ingredients you will need to make this recipe

  • dried cranberries
  • Brandy or Cognac
  • hot pepper jelly
  • fresh rosemary
  • Dijon mustard
  • frozen phyllo sheets
  • butter
  • Brie wheel

I tend to go a bit overboard with my appetizers on Thanksgiving and serve upwards of twelve, yes twelve, appetizers! And yes, then there’s dinner and dessert, and yes, I am exhausted at the end of the day! Here are a few of my favorite appetizer recipes that are always requested!

Baked Ravioli Bites and Nacho Stuffed Peppers

Oven-Baked Ravioli Bites With Balsamic Dipping Sauce is an easy recipe for a crowd-pleasing appetizer! Why deep fry in oil when you can bake in the oven and have your ravioli bites be so much healthier and even more delicious? Add a Balsamic Dipping Sauce and these ravioli bites will be the star of any party! 

Spicy Nacho Stuffed Peppers are seasoned with taco seasoning and brimming with salsa, black beans, corn, avocado, jalapeno and cheesy goodness!

Cranberry meatballs and Black Bean Corn Dip

Get out your slow cooker for these Cranberry Sweet & Sour Meatballs. Simply put frozen meatballs in your favorite slow cooker, top with just a few ingredients and let them cook themselves. You’ll end up with amazingly saucy meatballs that your guests will go crazy over! Bet you can’t eat just one! 

Bursting with cheesy goodness and a hint of spice, Creamy Corn and Black Bean Dip, served with tortilla chips or fresh veggie dippers, is a warm dip with a silky texture from a cream cheese and sour cream winning combination.

    Hi Gwynne, this is Fran from G’day Souffle’. I saw your recipe from a link from the Creekside Cook. This dish would definitely dress up any Thanksgiving table and help to diverge from the usual ‘ho hum’ dishes we are used to at Thanksgiving (although I still love the old standard recipes)!

    Hi Fran, yes, the standard baked Brie standby is always delicious but wrapping it in phyllo definitely takes it to a new impressive level! Happy Thanksgiving!

    Hi Ann, I use a sharp knife and cut horizontally across the top of the Brie wheel, slicing about 1/8-inch off of the entire top of the cheese. I hope this helps! Happy Cooking and Savor The Moments, GG
