Ingredients
- Fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- Fresh blueberries
- Fresh raspberries
- Brie cheese (soft, creamy variety like President or Fromager d’Affinois), sliced into wedges or left whole
- Honey (mild, floral, preferably local raw honey)
- Crackers or bread (water crackers, baguette slices, or artisanal crisps)
- Optional: Fresh mint leaves
- Optional: Toasted nuts such as almonds or walnuts
- Optional: Flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Rinse the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries gently under cold water. Pat dry with a paper towel. Hull and halve the strawberries for easier eating. (About 5 minutes)
- Using a sharp knife, cut the brie into wedges or slices about 1/2-inch thick. Alternatively, leave it whole for guests to slice. (2-3 minutes)
- Lay the brie wedges evenly on your serving board, spacing them out. Add clusters of berries around the cheese, filling gaps to create an inviting, colorful layout. (5-7 minutes)
- Place crackers or bread slices around the edges or in small stacks. Scatter toasted nuts and mint leaves thoughtfully for texture and color contrast.
- Using a honey dipper or spoon, drizzle honey lightly over the brie and berries, aiming for a fine, even coating without overwhelming the flavors. (1-2 minutes)
- If desired, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt atop the honey-drizzled brie for a complex flavor pop. Serve immediately or keep chilled until ready. (1 minute)
Notes
Drizzle honey just before serving to keep berries fresh and prevent sogginess. Use a mild floral honey for best flavor. Handle berries gently to avoid bruising. Brie can be left whole for guests to slice. Store leftovers with brie wrapped in parchment and berries in an airtight container separately.
