Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 skewers
Ingredients
- 1 wheel of Brie cheese
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled
- 1 cup blueberries
- 8 wooden skewers
- Honey for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by washing the strawberries and blueberries thoroughly under cool running water. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Remove the Brie cheese from refrigeration and let it sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to soften slightly, which will make cutting easier.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the Brie wheel into small, uniform cubes approximately 1-inch in size. Ensure the cubes are large enough to hold onto the skewer without crumbling.
- Hull the strawberries by removing the green leafy top and cutting them into star-shaped pieces. To create stars, slice the strawberry vertically into thin, even slices.
- Begin assembling the skewers by alternating between Brie cheese cubes, whole blueberries, and strawberry star pieces. Aim for a colorful and balanced arrangement.
- Once all skewers are assembled, arrange them on a serving platter. Drizzle honey generously over the skewers, allowing it to cascade down the ingredients.
- For best presentation, serve immediately at room temperature to ensure the Brie is soft and the berries are fresh. Optionally, garnish with a light sprinkle of fresh mint leaves.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Let the Brie cheese sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before cutting to ensure smooth, easy slicing without crumbling.
- Star Strawberry Technique: When creating strawberry stars, use a sharp knife and slice vertically to achieve clean, precise cuts. Practice makes perfect!
- Skewer Assembly Secrets: Alternate ingredients for visual appeal and balanced flavor. Aim for a colorful pattern that looks as good as it tastes.
- Honey Drizzling Pro Tip: Warm the honey slightly for a smoother drizzle that cascades beautifully over the skewers.
- Serve Immediately: These skewers are best enjoyed at room temperature to maintain the Brie's creamy texture and the berries' fresh flavor.
- Optional Elegance: Consider garnishing with fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of sophistication and a hint of freshness.
