FAQ's

Do you take the white rind off brie before baking?

Yes, you should remove the rind from the brie before baking. The rind will become tough and chewy when baked.

Should brie be covered when baking?

No, you should not cover brie when baking. Covering the cheese will prevent it from browning and bubbling up.

Should brie be at room temperature before baking?

No, you can bake brie straight from the refrigerator. It will take a bit longer to bake, but it won't affect the texture or flavor of the cheese.

How do you know when brie is done?

Brie is done when it is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. The center should still be slightly soft.

Things to know

  • This brie can be served warm or at room temperature.
  • For best results, use a wheel of brie that is about 8-10 inches in diameter.
  • If you don't have a cast iron skillet on hand, make sure that your skillet is oven-safe.
  • Instead of a skillet, you can also place brie in a baking dish like a metal cake pan or pie plate. Just make sure that the whole wheel can fit into your baking dish.
  • This buttery brie cheese pairs with crackers, fresh fruit like apple slices or green grapes, crescent rolls, baguette slices, or your favorite baked bread.
  • Add a little bit of extra flavor to this easy appetizer by topping it with toasted pecans instead of raw nuts on top.

Variations

  • Try adding different tree nuts, such as walnuts or almonds. You can also add dried cranberries for a festive look.
  • For a savory version, try topping the brie with cooked and crumbled bacon or diced tomatoes.
  • If you want an extra kick of flavor, sprinkle some herbs like rosemary or thyme over the top of the brie.
  • For a spicier version, add some crushed red pepper flakes to the topping.
  • Alternatively, you could also sprinkle some cinnamon or pumpkin spice over the top for an autumn-inspired version.

Storage

Refrigerate - Cool to room temperature, cover with plastic wrap, and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Freezer - I don't recommend freezing this recipe as the texture and flavor won't be the same.

Reheat - Reheat in a preheated 350-degree oven for 8-10 minutes until warm.
