Ingredients:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup hot pepper jelly
  • 1/4 cup fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)

Equipment:

  • Medium-sized microwave-safe bowl
  • Whisk
  • Knife and cutting board

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Brie: Start by discarding the rind from the brie cheese. This will leave you with the soft, creamy interior that will blend beautifully with the other ingredients.

  2. Cube the Cheese: Cut the brie and cream cheese into small cubes. This will help them melt evenly and combine seamlessly.

  3. Microwave the Cheese: Place the cubed brie and cream cheese into a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for about 1 minute, or until the cheese is fully melted. Stir halfway through to ensure even melting.

  4. Add Butter: Once the cheese is melted, whisk in the butter until it is completely incorporated and the mixture is smooth. The butter adds richness and a lovely creamy texture to the spread.

  5. Incorporate Hot Pepper Jelly: Stir in the hot pepper jelly. Watch as the color transforms into a beautiful pink hue, creating a visually stunning and flavorful base for your spread.

  6. Mix in Seasonings: Add the finely chopped green onions, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Whisk everything together until well combined, ensuring that the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

  7. Chill: For the best flavor and texture, chill the Pink Brie for at least two hours. This allows the flavors to meld and the spread to firm up slightly, making it perfect for serving.

  8. Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, give the spread a final stir and serve it with crackers, fresh fruits, or as a creative addition to your favorite dishes.
