    This apricot, pear and brie sandwich has bright sweet fruit flavors tucked into a crusty baguette with a soft spreadable vegan cheese - perfect picnic portable!

    recipe originally published August 2, 2012

    This apricot pear and brie sandwich is the first thing I made with this dairy free brie recipe.

    This vegan brie cheese has great flavor! The bright tangy taste pairs well with

     

    the fresh juicy pear and apricot. It is also great just spread onto this crusty baguette.

     

    one whole apricot and one whole pear fruit on a light tan bamboo cutting board

     

    This sandwich was lovely - sweet and salty and light and fresh. Bright and perfect for a summer lunch.

    This brie is spreadable, with no rind to peel! It is tangy and soft and is great in sandwiches or on a cracker. I have a couple other ideas for this brie, and as soon as I try them I will report back.

    What's your favorite cheese? What's your favorite sandwich?

      I'm wondering how exactly you substituted the recipe with the IMP! This looks amazing! I've started playing around with cheeses and I'm really excited to give something like this a try:)

      Okay, I made this cheese and the sandwich. My husband and I both agree they are To Die For. No longer is the vegan cheese landscape a desert. It now blooms and this sandwich is an amazing combination of flavors and textures. Make sure your fruit is ripe and full-flavored and sweet. The sourdough and the "cheese" will take care of the rest. See you in sandwich heaven.

      When I click on the link to go to the recipe site for vegan brie, it goes nowhere. Is there another way to get this recipe?

        hi Catherine, so sorry about that - I have had to update the broken link more than once (it changes on the other site). I have updated the link with a very similar recipe - you can find it here --> vegan brie. Enjoy!

          Thanks very much; that worked.

          In the meantime I found and tried a really simple vegan feta recipe on the internet and made that with good success. I'll be interested to compare the two recipes. A new and fascinating world for me.

          it IS a fascinating world, right? I LOVE the plant based cheeses 🙂

      Just checked out "Irish moss" and found the following cautionary information...just thought I would pass it on to you. ( One of the ingredients in Irish Moss is carrageenan.)

      "It seems that carrageenan can cause inflammation (one of our greatest enemies) and intestinal distress. Even more alarming, when carrageenan is extracted from the irish moss, this form of carrageenan has been associated with human cancers."

      Read more details at http://www.rawmazing.com/irish-moss-health-concerns/

      Don't mean to throw a damper on your excitement about this ingredient, but this sounds well-researched and thought you and your readers would want to have this information for their own judgement.

        thanks for this, Linda. I will continue to research this product as I did when I first brought it into my kitchen.

        What I initially learned is that the cancer causing carrageenan is a product/additive that is made from Irish moss, and I learned is that the process it goes through - extracted from Irish moss with toxic solvents - then heated and highly processed into chemical form - is what makes it dangerous, and that the end result has no nutritional value and is very different, biochemically, than Irish moss.

        I do appreciate you bringing this up, though, and I will continue to follow the studies.

      That's a very nice and classical combination! 🙂 I used to like sandwhiches with slices roasted turkey or chicken and tomatoes, cucumber, or iceberg lettuce.

      Teehee - I love all your puns. 🙂 Also, I've been meaning to try Irish moss for a while and just haven't gotten around to it. Where did you find it? Is it weird to work with??

        THANK YOU. someone thinks I'm funny. 😉 I ordered the Irish moss through Amazon, and it is amazing! It gives that fluffy texture to cheesecake (yep, second thing I made) and it is not weird at all. well, I don't think so. it is a sea vegetable, so that might weird some people out, and it kindof smells like something sea-worthy, but to me it smells good. and almost like leather.

        I don't know if there's anywhere to get it here in town... haven't looked. you should definitely get some!
