Brie Brûlée
I love a sweet and savory combination so the smooth creamy soft-ripened cheese with it’s buttery flavor makes the perfect contrast to the caramelized sugar.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) wheel triple cream Brie, in a wood box
- 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar (or sugar in the raw, or granulated sugar)
Instructions
- Heat oven to broil on high. Trim the top ⅛” off the top of the Brie to remove the top rind.
- Broil about one minute until the cheese is just gooey.
- Sprinkle the sugar evenly over the top of the Brie.
- Either continue to broil until the top has caramelized or use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar.
- Serve with toasted bread, crackers and slices of fruit.
Notes
If your wheel of Brie doesn't come in a wood box, you can either broil it right on a baking sheet or add to a small baking dish. Because it doesn't broil long it should mostly keep it's shape (though I still prefer the box if you have it!).
