How to make Baked Brie
Baking brie is super quick and simple to make!
All you need to do is place the brie wheel in a suitable ovenproof dish lined with baking paper, drizzle on some honey (totally optional) and bake for 10-15 minutes!
Any longer and the melted brie runs the risk of bursting through the rind… which isn’t too much of an issue if you’re making brie for your lunch.
If however, you’re making this baked brie for a party table or shared entree then you’ll want to watch the brie carefully to make sure it doesn’t cook too long and burst.
You’ll know if the brie is about to burst as the rind slowly becomes transparent.
Do You Take The Rind Off Brie Before Baking?
You do not need to remove any part of the rind before baking brie.
The rind is perfect for holding in all that melted cheese lava… and is delicious too!
