Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Gastrique

    In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, white vinegar, and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Let it reduce for about 10-15 minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cheese and Nuts

    While the gastrique is cooling, cut the Brie cheese into slices. Coarsely chop the pistachios.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Dish

    On a serving platter, arrange the slices of Brie cheese. Scatter the fresh grapes and chopped pistachios over the cheese.

  4. 4

    Drizzle and Serve

    Once the gastrique has cooled, drizzle it over the assembled Brie, grapes, and pistachios. Serve immediately.
