Baked Brie Cheese With Black Garlic Honey

Recipe uses: Black Garlic Honey

 

Welcome to the delicious world of baked brie, a dish that effortlessly melds the luscious creaminess of cheese with the unique sweetness of Black Garlic Honey. As a hamper business proudly based on the Sunshine Coast, we believe in celebrating local flavours, and this recipe does just that.

 

Brie vs. Camembert: The Cheese Showdown

You might wonder what sets brie apart from its close cousin, camembert. While both are soft-ripened cheeses with a similar appearance, brie tends to have a much smoother texture, and a slightly sweeter flavour compared to camembert. After extensive taste-testing (a tough job, but someone has to do it!), we found that brie creates a more harmonious balance with the Black Garlic Honey, thanks to its rich, creamy consistency.

But don't just take our word for it. Experiment with different brands of brie to discover your favourite, as each one can bring a unique touch to the dish. If you prefer a more rustic, earthy note, camembert might be your go-to. The key is to keep trying until you find that perfect cheese that makes your taste buds sing.

 

The Sweet & Savory Symphony

Adding a touch of diced apricot introduces an extra layer of sweetness that pairs beautifully with the black garlic's deep flavour. And don't forget the cashews—these little gems add a satisfying crunch and a nutty undertone that complements the creamy brie perfectly.

To elevate your platter, serve this baked brie with Silver Tongue Foods Smokey Sea Salt Crackers. The slight saltiness enhances the black garlic and brie combination, making every bite a delightful contrast of flavours and textures.
