Snowcapped Brie Appetizer (Print Version)

Creamy Brie wedges styled like snowy peaks, dusted with Parmesan and garnished with fresh thyme.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Cheese

01 - 14 oz Brie cheese, well chilled
02 - 1.4 oz Parmesan cheese, finely grated

→ Garnish

03 - Fresh thyme sprigs (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Using a sharp knife, cut the Brie into 16 triangular wedges, each approximately 25 grams. Ensure the cheese is well chilled for clean cuts.
02 - Arrange the Brie wedges upright on a serving platter with pointed ends facing upward to resemble a mountain range.
03 - Generously dust the tops of the Brie wedges with finely grated Parmesan cheese to mimic fresh snow.
04 - Garnish the platter with sprigs of fresh thyme if desired for a touch of greenery.
05 - Serve immediately with crackers or slices of baguette on the side.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It looks restaurant-worthy but requires zero cooking skills, just a sharp knife and confidence.
  • The contrast between creamy Brie and salty Parmesan dust actually tastes as good as it looks.
  • You can prep it in the time it takes guests to pour their first drink.
02 -
  • The moment you slice Brie, it starts warming and softening, so work quickly and don't let it sit on the counter between cutting and arranging.
  • Toasted Parmesan dust looks deeper and more interesting than raw; it also stays on better if you let it cool completely before dusting.
03 -
  • A chef's knife sharpened the morning of will change your entire experience; dull knives and soft cheese are enemies.
  • The secret is in the finely grated Parmesan—it sticks to the creamy Brie like it's meant to be there, rather than sliding off like coarse gratings do.
