Today we’re stuffing fresh, juicy strawberries with herby whipped brie! This is a really quick and healthy appetizer, finger food, or even snack that your family is going to love.
Prepare strawberries by removing the stems. Using a paring knife or strawberry huller, create a small hole in each strawberry in which to stuff the brie.
In a food processor, whip brie until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add chives, basil, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Scoop brie into a piping bag (or plastic bag with the tip cut off).
To assemble, place a basil leaf in each strawberry, then stuff with the brie mixture. Drizzle with balsamic reduction, and sprinkle with chopped chives and ground black pepper. This is best when not served ultra-cold, but closer to room temperature.
Notes
*You can either buy this or make it from regular balsamic vinegar. To make balsamic reduction, bring 1 cup to a low simmer for about 15 minutes, or until vinegar thickens and reduces in volume. The reduction sauce will thicken further once cooled.
