Equipment

Ingredients 

Whipped Brie Wheel

  • 1 wheel brie
  • 4 oz triple cream brie, rind removed
  • 2 oz cream cheese
  • ¼ cup pistachios, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp fig jam

Toppings

  • 2 Fresh figs, quartered, to taste
  • 1 drizzle honey
  • chives, chopped
  • 1 sprinkle flaky salt
  • 1 tbsp pistachios, finely chopped
  • baguette slices, fried in olive oil, for serving

Instructions

  • Slice the Brie Crosswise: Place the wheel of brie flat on your cutting board and carefully slice horizontally through the middle of the brie, like you’re cutting a bagel in half. Set the top half off to the side.

  • Make the Whipped Brie: In a food processor, blend the triple cream brie (rind removed) with the cream cheese until smooth. Divide the mixture into two bowls.

  • Add Flavor: In one of the bowls, mix in ¼ cup chopped pistachios and fig jam. Spread this mixture on the cut side of the bottom brie slice, then place the top half over it. Press gently and, using a butter knife or a spreader, clean up around the edge, smoothing the whipped brie. Refrigerate 20 minutes to set.

  • Finish and Serve: Spread the remaining plain whipped brie from the other bowl on top. Garnish with quartered figs (I used 6), a drizzle of honey, chopped chives, flaky salt, and more crushed pistachio. Serve on top of toasted baguettes slices and enjoy!
