Scale
Cheeses
- 14 oz Brie cheese, well chilled
- 1.4 oz Parmesan cheese, finely grated

- Fresh thyme sprigs (optional)
Instructions
- Cut Brie into wedges: Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the well-chilled Brie cheese into 16 triangular wedges, each approximately 0.9 oz, to ensure smooth, clean cuts.
- Arrange Brie wedges: Stand the Brie wedges upright on a serving platter with the pointed ends facing upwards, creating the appearance of a mountain range.
- Dust with Parmesan: Generously sprinkle the finely grated Parmesan cheese over the top of each Brie wedge to mimic the look of fresh snow covering the peaks.
- Add garnish: Decorate the platter with fresh thyme sprigs if desired, adding a pleasant visual contrast and subtle herbal aroma.
- Serve immediately: Present the snowcapped range Brie appetizer right away alongside crackers or slices of baguette for guests to enjoy.
Notes
- Ensure the Brie is well chilled before slicing to achieve clean and precise wedges.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for best texture and flavor.
- Fresh thyme is optional but adds a beautiful color contrast and aroma.
- Serve immediately after assembly to maintain the Brie’s shape and texture.
- Pairs well with crisp white wine or light red wines.
