Baked Brie Charcuterie Boards: Meet Our New Small-Batch Brie Pre-Order
There's a moment at every party when someone cuts into a warm baked brie, and suddenly the whole room drifts toward the table. It's the appetizer people photograph, hover over and come back to for seconds. It's also why baked brie has become one of the most-requested additions to our charcuterie boards.
So we're giving it a spotlight of its own. Starting October 26th, Kart and Craving is offering baked brie as a small-batch monthly pre-order in Kansas City. Each month brings one seasonal flavor, made fresh in a limited batch. When it's gone, it's gone until next month.
Why baked brie belongs on a charcuterie board
A great charcuterie board is built on contrast, and baked brie adds the one thing most boards are missing: warmth.
It becomes the centerpiece. Everything else on a board is served cool. A warm, golden brie in the middle gives guests a clear place to start.
It gets people talking. A cheese knife cutting into melty brie is the moment that ends up on everyone's phone.
It goes with everything already on the board. Crackers, fruit, nuts and something sweet all taste better next to it.
Meet our small-batch monthly baked brie
We make baked brie the way we build every board: in small batches, with quality ingredients, around a seasonal theme.
How it works:
Pre-orders open the first week of each month for a limited batch. You can order here
Reserve yours before it sells out. Once the batch is claimed, pre-orders close.
Pick up on pickup day at select businesses around KC. Each of the businesses will get a % of the revenue for hosting us. If you're curious about hosting one of our monthly drops please reach out to info@kartandcraving.com.
Each month features a new flavor inspired by the season, from cozy fall pairings to festive holiday combinations. This month's flavor: Apple Cinnamon
Ways Kansas City hosts are using it
As an add-on to a board or grazing table. Order your brie alongside a charcuterie board or grazing table for a spread that feels complete.
For holiday hosting. It's a natural fit for Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings.
As a hostess, teacher or neighbor gift. It's more memorable than another bottle of wine.
For client and employee gifts. Kansas City businesses and realtors can order in bulk for an easy gift people actually enjoy.
Why pre-order instead of making it yourself
You could track down a good brie, figure out the right toppings, and time the bake so it comes out perfect just as your guests arrive. But that last part is the hard part, right in the middle of hosting.
When you pre-order, we handle the sourcing, the flavor and the small-batch prep, so your brie is ready for your date and all you do is enjoy it. More time with your guests, less time watching the oven. Our ingredients are free of seed oils, gums, additives, and corn syrup so you feel good about what you are eating.

Pair baked brie with any charcuterie board, crudité platter or grazing table order. Ordering 12 or more for an office, a client gift list or an event? Contact us and we'll put together a bulk order.
