White Peach Brie Board (Printable Version)

A sophisticated blend of brie, white peaches, meringue kisses, and silver leaf on a stylish cheese board.

# Components:

→ Cheese

01 - 9 oz brie cheese, wheel or wedge, chilled

→ Fruit

02 - 3 ripe white peaches, thinly sliced

→ Sweets

03 - 12 small meringue kisses or nests, homemade or store-bought

→ Garnish

04 - Edible silver leaf, for decoration

→ Accompaniments (optional)

05 - Small handful of white grapes
06 - Small bowl of raw or lightly toasted blanched almonds

# Preparation steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 200°F. Beat 2 large egg whites with ½ cup superfine sugar and ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. Pipe or spoon small mounds onto a lined baking tray and bake for 1 hour until crisp. Cool completely. Skip this step if using store-bought meringues.
02 - Place brie cheese on a large serving board or platter.
03 - Artfully fan thin slices of white peach around the brie.
04 - Cluster meringue kisses or nests around the peaches and brie.
05 - If desired, add white grapes and blanched almonds to the board.
06 - Using tweezers, delicately place edible silver leaf onto selected meringue pieces and peach slices.
07 - Serve immediately, allowing guests to mingle flavors and textures.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours when you really just arranged beautiful things that already exist.
  • The textures hit different—crispy meringue, soft cheese, juicy fruit, all in one bite.
  • It's actually vegetarian and impressive enough for people who normally skip appetizer boards altogether.
02 -
  • Meringue is your biggest wild card—if humidity is high on your cooking day, they'll weep slightly, which just means you need to add them at the very last moment before serving.
  • That slightly chilled brie texture is the secret nobody talks about; if it gets too warm it spreads like butter, but at the right temperature it has this perfect creamy resistance that makes it special.
03 -
  • Use tweezers to apply edible silver leaf—it gives you control and keeps your fingers from breaking the delicate metal, which tears easily.
  • The secret nobody shares: store-bought meringues are genuinely beautiful, and using them is smart time management, not cheating.
