This tear-and-share cob bread brings together everyone’s favourite flavours of fig, Fairview brie, walnuts and honey, in a cheesy, gooey yumminess! And its comfort is in its convenience and versatility. It’s a showstopper, yet it takes only minutes to make. It can be a snack before or after dinner, or it can even be a lazy meal for a warm December evening.
Cob bread is a bread loaf, with a hearty thick crust. It is traditionally round with a diamond pattern on top. This bread is perfect to serve with brie, as the bread has a soft flavour that can’t overpower the mild brie.
Brie loves being paired with sweet and juicy fruits, as they are a perfect balance to the creamy, earthy flavour of the brie.
Walnuts not only give that luxury eating experience that you expect from Christmas and other decent occasions, but it adds an extra element of crunch, which completes every highlight of this dish: sweet, umami, soft and crunchy, and sticky.
