Posted by Sandy GluckDr. Brent Ridge brought some of his homemade goat's milk brie to put on a sandwich and boy, was it good. Super creamy and nutty with a slight bite.
Brie is probably the most well-known French cheese and although it's generally made with cow's milk, there's no reason it can't be done with other milks, too.
So, what to put with this cheese? Ginger preserves, which come in jars and can be found with jams and jellies, seemed to be a perfect match -- sweet and spicy. Then I added some sliced pears. Just three ingredients (not counting the bread) and truly delicious.
Thanks, Brent!
