Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Tips for Baking Brie

The rind of brie cheese is edible. Some people enjoy the rind’s nutty, slightly bitter flavor, while others prefer to remove it. The rind is made of edible white mold that contributes to the flavor and texture of the cheese. I prefer to remove the rind but it’s up to you.

Here are some tips to prepare brie before baking:

• Cut off the top layer of the rind with a sharp knife, taking care to remove as little of the cheese as possible.
• You can also use a cheese planer to remove the top layer of rind.
• A spoon can be used to scrape the top layer of the rind off of the cheese.
• I like to use a vegetable peeler to remove the top layer of the rind.

Brie Baking Dish

A baked brie crock is a special dish for baking and serving brie cheese. It is typically made of ceramic and has a lid that covers the cheese while it bakes.

Recently, I learned about a brie baking dish, and I mean to tell you, this baking dish is a game changer. First, it is super cute and comes in several beautiful colors. Second, the lid covers the cheese while it bakes and keeps it warm and melty, also preventing the cheese from drying out.

The baker is sold as a single baker or for just a little more, two bakers, one to keep and one to gift!

When using a baked brie crock, keeping an eye on the cheese while it’s baking is essential. Different ovens may require different baking times, so check the cheese every 5 minutes or so to ensure it doesn’t overheat.

Variations of Baked Brie

Baked brie is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed with various toppings. Some popular toppings include:

1. Honey: Drizzle honey on the brie before baking for a sweet and gooey addition.
2. Fruits: Fresh fruits such as sliced apples or pears add a refreshing sweetness to the brie.
3. Maple Syrup: Maple Syrup and Baked Brie are a match made in heaven. Drizzle some on top of the cheese before baking.
4. Caramelized onions: Caramelized onions add a nice sweet and savory touch to the cheese.
5. Herbs: Fresh herbs such as thyme or rosemary can add a depth of flavor to the brie.
6. Spices: Sprinkle spices like cinnamon or nutmeg on the brie for a warm and cozy flavor.
7. Chutneys: Chutneys are a great way to add a touch of sweetness and a hint of spice to the cheese.
8. Bacon: Bacon adds a smoky and salty flavor to the cheese. Crumble it on top of the brie before baking.
