Br\u00fbl\u00e9e cheese two words that immediately awake the taste buds and elicit an image of gooey, perfectly burnt discs. Increasingly trendy on social media<\/span><\/a>, the recipes and techniques are easy, making for a low-effort-big-impact party dish. How to make it at home? Our experts share their winning tips.<\/p>\n

Start with Room Temperature Cheese<\/strong><\/h2>\n

No matter what you do, says Lilith Spencer, Lifestyle Editor at <\/strong>Jasper Hill Farm<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, don\u2019t start with cold cheese, \u201cthe amount of time it takes to br\u00fblee the surface won\u2019t be long enough to heat the entire paste through.\u201d To ensure a scoopable, spreadable center, Spencer suggests, take your cheese out of the fridge at least one hour – and even better, two! – before you plan on preparing it. This will allow the paste to soften throughout.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Choose the Right Cheese<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Consider <\/strong>one wrapped in bark. \u201cThey are self-contained by their cambium belts, which makes them easy to serve and eliminates the need for a baking dish.\u201d Spencer says. \u201cAs you br\u00fbl\u00e9e the surface of the cheese, the bark around the edge gets singed, unleashing a beautiful woodsy, campfire-esque aroma.\u201d Meg Quinn of Ain\u2019t to Proud to Meg<\/a> recommends any goat cheese, cream cheese or blue cheese in addition to Humboldt Fog. <\/p>\n

Torch or Broil<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201c<\/strong>The broiler method works just fine, but everybody\u2019s oven is a little different, so if you\u2019re doing this for the first time, you\u2019ll definitely need to pay close attention to your cheese under the flame,\u201d Spencer says. \u201cI\u2019ve seen it take as little as one or two minutes and up to ten minutes for the cheese to caramelize, depending on oven size, broiler strength, and so on. Once you find that sweet spot, make sure to record details like how long you broiled the cheese, how high up you placed your oven rack, so that next time, you know what to expect.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alternatively, torching is a great option as well: \u201cyou have far more control, it takes less time, you\u2019ll get a more evenly caramelized crust on top, and if you want to re-br\u00fbl\u00e9e the cheese as you get halfway through, you can do so without having to relocate it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pro tip: <\/strong>if your cheese is on the younger side, it may still be a little bit firm even after tempering for a couple of hours. If this is the case, Spencer suggests popping it into a low oven (200-250F) for a few minutes before you top and br\u00fbl\u00e9e it. Sue Moran of the blog The View from Great Island<\/a> strongly recommends using a torch, not the broiler, and recommends baking the cheese before burnishing it in this recipe<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Add to Cheeseboards<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cBr\u00fbl\u00e9e cheese is great on a cheese board, with small brie-style cheese that can be cut in half to use both sides!\u201d says Jen Mason, founder of <\/strong>Curds and Co <\/strong><\/span><\/a>and <\/strong>curdbox<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. She suggests using white sugar or sugar in the raw, not brown sugar, for a crispier topping. \u201cA light drizzle of hot honey can make it extra special., Mason adds.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Br\u00fbl\u00e9e a Wedge<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For additional presentation appeal, with br\u00fbl\u00e9e cheese, Mason suggests\u00a0cutting 2-ounce wedges from a brie-style cheese and setting each wedge on a baking sheet covered in foil. Then, top with sugar and br\u00fbl\u00e9e! \u201cOr, find a very small style brie and cut in half or even thirds horizontally and br\u00fbl\u00e9e one side of each, and serve one slice to each person with a selection of fresh berries and Effie’s oatcakes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Consider the Sugar:Cheese Ratio<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Humboldt Fog, one of Cypress Grove\u2019s most popular cheeses, was born to be bruleed. \u201cWe first learned the magic of Humboldt Fog br\u00fbl\u00e9e from Jessica Lawrenz, formerly of Venissimo Cheese,\u201d says Haley Nessler, Senior Marketing Manager at <\/strong>Cypress Grove<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. \u201cWhen burnishing a thicker piece of cheese, people tend to scoop out the crunchy goodness and cheese paste but leave a bit of the cheese behind,\u201d says Nessler. \u201cA one inch-ish thick piece of cheese will give you the perfect bite!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Double Layers of Sugar<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cTwo thin layers of sugar will give you the perfect crunchy layer. Do one thin layer of sugar, torch it, and then do one more. Then dig in and enjoy!\u201d says Nessler.<\/p>\n
