Grilling brie on a cedar plank adds a smoky flavour that complements the mild cheese and sweet fruit. The refreshing fruit perfectly complements the creamy, melty texture of Brie cheese in this easy appetiser recipe.
Pro tip: If you want to give this appetiser a little kick, you can replace the honey with a bit of chili powder. It’s a great combination!
