Impress your guests with recipes that are easy to prepare, like our Nut-Crusted Brie with Cherry Chutney.  We recommend enjoying this delicious dish with Biltmore Estate® Blanc de Blancs sparkling wine

Brie Ingredients

Cherry Chutney Ingredients

Brie Method
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Mix almonds, walnuts, and pecans in a small bowl. Whisk the eggs and cream together in a seperate bowl. Using a pastry brush, apply egg mixture to cheese and then coat with the nuts. Place in a baking pan and bake until the cheese is softened and the nuts are golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
Place the cheese on heated plates.
Serves 6.

Cherry Chutney Method
Combine the dried cherries, orange juice, and vinegar in a saucepan. Add the ginger, coriander seeds, and sugar; mix well. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat. Cook to a syrupy consistency, stirring constantly.

To Serve

Cut the Brie cheese into desired portions and place on heated plates. Spoon Cherry Chutney over the cheese and around the edges of the plates. Serve with slices of toasted French baguette. Serves 6-8.
