Description

This Grilled Brie with Balsamic Strawberries recipe combines creamy, melted brie cheese with a sweet and tangy strawberry glaze infused with fresh basil and balsamic vinegar. Served with crusty baguette slices, it’s a perfect appetizer or snack that harmonizes smoky grilled flavors with fresh, vibrant fruit notes.

Ingredients

Scale

Brie and Seasoning

  • 1 Brie Cheese Round
  • 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt

Balsamic Strawberry Topping

  • 0.5 pound Fresh Strawberries
  • 10 Fresh Basil Leaves
  • 2 tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper

To Serve

  • 1 Baguette

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberries and Basil: Remove the tops from the fresh strawberries and roughly chop them. Stack the fresh basil leaves, roll them up, and thinly slice. Place both strawberries and basil in a medium bowl.
  2. Make Balsamic Glaze: Add balsamic vinegar, honey, and freshly ground black pepper to the bowl with strawberries and basil. Toss everything together to coat the strawberries evenly in the glaze, then set aside to marinate.
  3. Season the Brie: Brush the brie cheese round lightly with olive oil and sprinkle it evenly with sea salt to enhance its flavor.
  4. Grill the Brie: Preheat your grill or grill pan to high heat. Place the brie on the hot grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, watching carefully to get nice char marks while allowing the cheese to melt inside without breaking the round when flipping.
  5. Serve: Transfer the grilled brie to a serving platter alongside sliced baguette. Spoon the balsamic strawberries over the top of the brie and serve immediately for a warm, creamy, and flavorful appetizer.

Notes

  • Use a firm but ripe brie cheese to prevent excessive melting and breaking on the grill.
  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option, though the recipe is not fully vegan due to cheese.
  • Be gentle when flipping the brie on the grill to keep the round intact.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor contrast between warm cheese and chilled strawberries.
  • Basil adds a fresh herbal note; if unavailable, mint or thyme can be alternatives.
