Look for the Proudly Wisconsin Badge when shopping for cheese. Any brand of Wisconsin Brie can be used in this recipe.

Instructions

Sweet Heat Blueberry Sauce:

  1. Combine the sugar, water and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium heat until smooth. Add blueberries and jalapeno pepper. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 8-10 minutes or until thickened and berries burst. Remove from the heat. Stir in lemon zest and lemon juice. Keep warm.

Pound Cake Stacks:

  1. Spread butter on the sides of pound cake. Toast cake slices in a large skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Transfer slices to a cutting board; cut each in half diagonally.
  2. Place four cake slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Top each with a wedge of brie and heaping tablespoon blueberry sauce. Repeat layers twice, starting with cake.
  3. Broil 3-4 inches from the heat for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is softened.
  4. Transfer stacks to serving plates. Sprinkle with walnuts. Garnish with whipped cream and mint. Serve immediately.

Recipe Tip

Avoid touching face when handling jalapeno peppers. Consider wearing gloves, as oils may burn skin.

Brie is named after the region in France from which it originated. This triple cream, soft-ripened brie cheese is decadent and indulgent. The flavor is rich and earthy with mushroom notes and ranges from mild to full and aromatic, depending on age. As with most bloomy rind cheeses such as brie, the rind is often eaten.
