Description
Cooked over a grill, the cedar plank gives this brie a rich, smoky flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweet cherries. For a bit of a crunch, I toasted a few almonds and walnuts in a little bit of honey and oil. Appetizer heaven.
Ingredients
- 1 wheel Brie (12 Oz. Size)
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Raw Honey
- ¼ cups Walnuts
- ½ cups Almonds
- ½ cups Bing Cherry Preserves
- Crackers Or Crusty Bread, For Serving
- 1 whole Cedar Plank, For Cooking
Preparation
1. Soak a cedar plank in water for at least an hour so it doesn’t catch fire. I put mine on a rimmed cookie sheet, poured water into the pan and set a coffee mug on top of the plank to keep it submerged.
2. Heat grill to a nice medium-high heat, about 400 F. Prep plank by grilling it for three minutes on each side. Place brie on one end of the plank and close the cover. Cook for 8-10 minutes. Then remove it from the plank/grill and put it onto your serving platter.
3. In the meantime, heat oil olive and honey in a small pan over medium heat. Add nuts and cook for about 5 minutes. Then remove the pan from the heat.
4. Assemble your brie. Slather brie with the cherry preserves and top with honeyed nuts. Arrange crackers around it and serve.
Note: Cedar planks are sold in the meat department of most super markets. The link to the exact jar of Organic Bing Cherry Preserves is on the related blog link!
