Easy And Fancy Way How To Serve Cold Brie Cheese On A Cheese Tray And Useful Tips

        This idea is so easy for a cute brie wheel cheese presentation for the Holidays. This technique is great for brie with staffing or with different toppings. I am going to share my favorite way to make a brie wheel as the centerpiece of the cheese tray. This technique I saw on Instagram and it is an endless opportunity to make a centerpiece from the brie wheel! We can use different cookie cutters or just cut out the shape with a sharp knife. I prefer to use a cookie cutter because it is an easier way to make the perfect shape.

The list of ideas for brie or camembert cheese cut-offs I saw on Instagram:

1. A leaf shape for fall and Thanksgiving. So many toppings work so well for this design. Jams, chopped dry fruits with honey, chopped nuts with honey or jam, and much more.
2. Christmas brie wheel idea. Christmas tree – dill or green jam, bell, snowmen (chopped pecans with honey), and snowflakes.
3. A flower or butterfly shape for summer.
4. A heart for Valentine’s Day – red strawberry jam is the perfect pairing or just chop fresh strawberries!
5. Shamrock for St. Patrick’s Day with dill or green jam (fresh kiwi).
6. A key shape for housewarming. The yellow color jam will be perfect for this occasion!
7. Baby shower with a stroller.
8. Halloween – ghost, coffin, bat.

1. Brie cheese wheel
2. Cookie cutter
3. Wire cake cutter or bread knife.
4. Jam

We can cut brie wheels with a sharp fillet knife, bread knife, or tasteless tooth tread. A soft cheese knife is also nice to have but not everybody has it. I have a small one and for larger brie wheels it is not big enough.

1. Cut the wheel in half. I used a bread knife to cut the brie wheel.

*A wire cutter for a cake works great too if you have one. Make a small cut with a kitchen knife to start cutting and then the wire cutter goes easily.

2. Remove the top of the brie wheel and make the cut out by using the cookie cutter.

*I used paper from cheese to make the cutout, so I don’t have to do an extra clean cutting board.

You can also make a cutout design on paper, place it on the top of the rind and make cut it around with a very sharp knife. Make sure the design is simple, so you don’t have to cut so many details.

3. Spread a small amount of the jam on the bottom of the brie wheel.

4. Place the top with a cutout on the bottom of the brie wheel.

No matter how you choose to serve brie cheese, it is sure to be a hit at your next party. So get creative!

If you don’t have a heart cookie cutter for Valentina’s Day or just express your love to someone special, make one! In just two steps we can make a heart shape from a plastic bottle. Check the link below.

       Pears and brie are so a perfect combination! I sliced red and green colors pears and lay between brie cheese wedges. In the middle, I roll salami slices in the shape of flowers. I actually didn’t plan to make photos and style my brie for my family but when I see my plate I want to share it on my website!
