HOW TO CHOOSE A WHEEL OF BRIE
As with any recipe, the quality of the ingredients is everything. When selecting a wheel of Brie to make you don't want it too ripe nor not ripe enough!
A ripe wheel of brie should be slightly springy and bulging at the rind. If it has a liquid feel it is over ripe.
HOW TO MAKE KETO BAKED BRIE
The brie needs to be baked so that the cheese is gooey but not melted. The rind of the brie helps to keep the gooey baked cheese inside but you need a hot, pre-heated oven too.
Once the brie has been baked, take it out of the oven and serve it warm with low carb crackers.
THE CRANBERRY TOPPING
The topping is made with cranberries and baked with them on top. Some baked brie recipes add the cranberry sauce once baked which you could do too.
We have used a mixture of fresh cranberries, a touch of orange zest, low carb sweetener and chopped walnuts. A dash of bourbon was added for some holiday flair, but that's entirely optional.
WHAT TO SERVE WITH KETO BAKED BRIE
This creamy baked cheese is great served with low carb bread slices, crackers or vegetable crudites. When you cut into the cooked brie the cheese will ooze out. Use crackers as a spoon or spread it over slices of our low carb walnut bread. For the crackers try our low carb and gluten-free almond flour crackers or our crispy flaxseed crackers.
VARIATIONS
If you are not a fan of cranberries, the baked brie can be served with other toppings.
- Toasted chopped nuts with garlic and herbs
- Pecans in a sugar free caramel sauce
- Sliced garlic mushrooms with thyme
- Bacon and caramelized onions
RECIPE TIPS
If you are adding bourbon to the cranberry sauce, this can be replaced with whiskey or rum.
You could use a sugar-free cranberry sauce too.
STORAGE
Ideally this should be served fresh from the oven. If you have any leftovers, keep the brie wheel in the refrigerator, covered and reheat the next day.
