Snowcapped Brie Wedges (Print Version)

Creamy Brie triangles dusted with Parmesan, styled like snowy peaks, garnished with fresh thyme sprigs for elegance.

# 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, approximately 0.9 oz each, ensuring the cheese is well chilled for clean cuts.
02 - Place 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 fresh thyme sprigs if desired to add a touch of greenery.
05 - Serve immediately with crackers or slices of baguette on the side.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • No cooking required means you can assemble it while your guests arrive, keeping your hands free and your stress low.
  • The contrast of warm, creamy Brie against the sharp, salty Parmesan dust creates a flavor moment that feels fancier than the effort it takes.
  • It's naturally vegetarian and somehow manages to look like you spent hours planning, when really you spent ten minutes.
02 -
  • The Brie temperature matters more than you'd think—take it out of the fridge too early and it becomes a creamy puddle; too late and it cracks when you cut it.
  • Dust the Parmesan just before serving, because sitting too long makes it absorb moisture from the cheese and lose that pristine, snowy appearance.
03 -
  • A bench scraper or offset spatula makes it easier to move the delicate wedges from cutting board to platter without them tipping.
  • If you're serving more than eight people, doubling the recipe and using two platters creates a more dramatic presentation than a crowded single board.
