Published on August 02, 2024 Grilled Brie with Peaches combines creamy, melty cheese with juicy peaches, chopped candied pecans, fresh basil, and a drizzle of sweet honey. It’s the perfect summer appetizer or snack. Grilled brie has a wonderfully rich and creamy flavor with a slightly smoky undertone. and it’s SO easy to make. When you grill brie, the outer layer becomes a bit crispy and golden, while the inside melts into a luscious, gooey texture. The heat intensifies the cheese’s buttery notes and brings out its earthy, nutty qualities. I like to top the warm brie with juicy peaches, chopped candied pecans, fresh basil, and a drizzle of sweet honey. It’s a delightful combination of creamy, savory, and sweet. This brie recipe has it ALL! Impress your guests with this easy appetizer or treat yourself to a special snack. It is summer perfection!
Ingredients
Brie– use an 8 oz wheel of soft-ripened brie cheese. Make sure it is cold, right out of the fridge, before grilling. Olive oil– for brushing the brie. Honey– for drizzling over the brie. Peaches– look for ripe and juicy peaches. I don’t peel the peaches, but you can before dicing them. Candied pecans- my homemade candied pecans are SO good with this brie. Herbs– fresh basil or mint! Flaky sea salt– for sprinkling on top! Crostini or crackers– for serving.
How to Make Grilled Brie
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium high heat. Brush the olive oil over both sides of the brie.
Place the brie on the grill and grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until the brie feels warm and soft on the inside. When flipping the brie, use a spatula, being careful to not break the brie open. Make sure to not overcook the cheese, as it can melt too much and lose its shape.
Transfer the brie from the grill to a platter. Drizzle the warm brie with 1 tablespoon of honey and top with diced peaches, candied pecans, and mint or basil. Drizzle with the remaining honey and a sprinkle with a little sea salt. Serve the brie with crostini, crackers, or baguette slices.
Variations
Fruit– instead of using peaches, try diced nectarines, pears, plums, or strawberries. You can also top with fresh raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, or a mixture of berries. Nuts– I love using candied pecans for a sweet sugary crunch, but regular pecans, walnuts, pistachios, or almonds also work well. Herbs– mint, basil, thyme, and rosemary are all good options! You can even mix herbs. Hot Honey– if you want a little kick, use hot honey instead of regular honey. Balsamic Glaze– instead of honey, drizzle with balsamic glaze.
