Ingredients

Scale

Cheese Base

  • 6 oz triple creme brie, rind removed
  • 2 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tbsp blue cheese crumbles
  • 1 tbsp chives, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp vodka (optional)
  • 3 tbsp Castelvetrano olives, chopped

Brie Wheel

  • 1 brie wheel

Olive Garnish

  • 10 Castelvetrano olives, whole, pitted
  • 1 tbsp whipped brie
  • 2 tbsp blue cheese crumbles
  • 1 tbsp vodka (optional)
  • 1 tbsp chives, chopped (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Whipped Brie Base: Add the triple creme brie and cream cheese to a food processor and process until completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. The mixture should be thick, whipped, and spreadable.
  2. Flavor the Filling: Transfer half of the whipped brie mixture to a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of blue cheese crumbles, 1 tablespoon of finely chopped chives, 1 teaspoon of vodka if using, and the chopped Castelvetrano olives. Mix well until fully combined.
  3. Assemble and Chill: Slice the brie wheel horizontally using a sharp knife to create top and bottom halves. Spread the olive and cheese filling evenly over the cut side of the bottom half, then place the top half back on and press gently to seal. Clean and smooth the edges with an offset spatula or butter knife. Place on a parchment-lined surface and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
  4. Prepare the Olive Garnish: In a small bowl, mix the remaining blue cheese crumbles, remaining vodka if using, and 1 tablespoon of whipped brie until smooth. Spoon or pipe this mixture into the whole pitted Castelvetrano olives. Skewer the stuffed olives and set aside for garnish.
  5. Frost and Finish: Spread the remaining whipped brie evenly over the top and sides of the assembled brie wheel. Sprinkle with remaining chopped chives to taste. Arrange the blue cheese-stuffed olive skewers on top. Refrigerate uncovered for another 30 minutes before serving or packaging to prevent condensation.

Notes

  • Vodka is optional but adds a subtle flavor depth; omit for a milder taste.
  • Ensure the brie rind is removed from the base cheese for a smooth whipped texture.
  • Use Castelvetrano olives for their buttery and mild flavor; substitute with green olives if unavailable.
  • This cheese can be made ahead and refrigerated, but serve at room temperature for best flavor.
  • Adjust chives and blue cheese quantities to suit taste preferences.
