Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 3 (8 ounce) wheels Triple Crème Brie, cold
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
Savory Topping:
- olive oil, for drizzling
- finely chopped combination of fresh herbs such as rosemary, thyme, parsley and oregano, for garnishing
- Flaky sea salt, for garnishing
Sweet Topping:
- Honey, for drizzling
- Chopped pistachios, for garnishing
- Flaky sea salt, for garnishing
- Fresh mint or thyme sprigs, for decorating
Serving:

Instructions
- Remove one wheel of brie from the refrigerator at a time and use a cheese slicer, or sharp knife, to cut off as much of the rind as possible.
- Cut the remaining brie wheel into chunks and let set at room temperature until completely softened, about 30 minutes.
- Add the room temperature brie chunks to a food processor and blend until well combined, stopping the processor a few times to scrap the cheese from the sides. This will take about 2-4 minutes depending on the power of your food processor.
- Add the heavy cream and blend until super creamy and fluffy, about 1 minute. This will make about 2 cups of whipped brie.
- Spread the creamy brie onto a serving plate.
- Savory Topping: Garnish the brie with a drizzle of olive oil. Sprinkle fresh chopped herbs and flaky sea salt over the olive oil.
- Sweet Topping: Garnish the brie with a drizzle of honey. Sprinkle the honey with chopped pistachios and a little flaky sea salt and then decorate the dip with some sprigs of fresh mint or thyme.
- Serve with crackers or baguette for dipping.
