Test Kitchen Tips
  • Though Brie originates in France, you will probably find American versions (which are more affordable and widely available) in the grocery store. You can substitute American Camembert, a similar cheese, in any recipe that calls for Brie. True Camembert, also from France, has a more earthy and mushroom-like taste than Brie.
  • In Europe, Parmigiano-Reggiano and Parmesan are considered the same cheese. But in the U.S., Parmesan is a generic term that may not come from Italy’s Parmigiano-Reggiano region. Using the authentic Italian cheese (in a lesser amount than the original’s ½ cup) ensures a cheesy richness in the makeover with less fat and calories.
