Notes

  • For this baked brie recipe, we leave the brie in the wooden container that it comes in. This helps the brie to hold its shape after it’s baked and served.
  • If your brie didn’t come in a wooden container, you can place it directly onto the parchment lined baking sheet or in a small cast iron skillet. Once the rind of the brie is broken, the melty cheese will spread quickly. This is why the wooden container is nice because it prevents the cheese from spreading.
  • Don’t overbake the brie. It’s not the end of the world if you leave it in the oven for too long but it will get SUPER DUPER melty if it’s in the oven for longer than 10 minutes. You want to melt the brie just so it’s creamy but not soupy.
  • If the nuts seem to be browning too quickly in the oven, place a sheet of tin foil over the cheese and continue baking. This will slow the browning process.
