How to cook deliciously - Grilled Cedar Plank Brie
1. Stage
Soak the cedar plank: Soak the cedar plank in water for a minimum of 30 minutes, up to to 2 hours.
2. Stage
Prepare the baguette slices: Slice the baguette diagonally into 1/2-inch pieces. Brush both sides with olive oil, and sprinkle with the salt. Set aside.
3. Stage
Prepare the blackberry topping: In a medium bowl, combine the blackberries, honey, balsamic vinegar, thyme, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
4. Stage
Heat the grill: Preheat a grill for indirect grilling. Using a gas grill: Light the burners on one side, and set to medium heat. Keep the other side off. Using a charcoal grill: Light the coals. Once the coals are covered with white ash, spread them over half of the grill. Once the temperature reaches 350°F, the grill is ready to use.
5. Stage
Pre-cook the plank: Place the plank on the grill over direct heat for 3 minutes over the heat, flip, and cook the opposite side for an additional 3 minutes. It will start smoking, and start to blacken on the edges. While the plank is cooking, add the baguette slices to the grill over indirect heat (the side opposite the coals/flames). Grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden. Set aside.
6. Stage
Cook the brie: Place the brie on top of the plank over direct heat. Spoon the blackberry topping on top. Close the grill. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the brie is warmed through. To test, gently poke the brie, it should feel somewhat liquid-y inside, it should not be firm to touch. If it’s still firm, continue cooking until the brie softens.
7. Stage
Serve: Serve immediately, directly from the plank. Once heated, you’ll have about 20 to 30 minutes to enjoy it before it starts to harden. If needed, reheat the brie in the microwave for 10 to 20 seconds. Love the recipe? Leave us stars and a comment below!
