Best Baked Brie Tips for Success!
Brand: The brand of brie sometimes affects the durability of being able to be baked. I’ve noticed some brands can be baked without any leaking through its rind, whereas others leak every time.
This dish is great for cheaper brie simply because melted brie is always delicious regardless of how much you spent on it.
All about baking brie
Baking: Check your brie at 10 minutes. If you can’t tell by touching the outside of the brie if it is done, simply stick a toothpick into the center and if it comes out with melted cheese then it’s done.
Overbaking can cause leaking/a side to collapse in the oven. It’s still tasty and edible but do remove from the oven asap. Over baking too much can leave the center hardened- and we don’t want that!
Underbaking will leave the brie to firm and not have that delicious fondue effect. If find yours is under baked after breaking in to it, or simply want to reheat the break, place baking the oven on a parchment lined baking sheet, and bake at 350°F for 5 minutes or until all melted.
Keep in mind it will spill out since you already broke into it, which is why I recommend putting it back on parchment paper.
You can bake the brie in a shallow baking dish without parchment paper, for ease of use.
Brie will stay warm and gooey for ~10-15 minutes.
Reheating brie: You can either pop the brie bake in the oven for a few minutes or try the microwave. If you microwave, I recommend heating in 15-30 second intervals, check to see if melted, then repeat until you heat to your desired consistency.
Leftover brie should be refrigerated and you can either eat cold or reheat. I highly recommend using it for my Brie and Prosciutto Salad or leftover hot turkey sandwiches!
Other Brie Variations
You can serve with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or pita chips.
Top brie with maple syrup, raspberry jam, or try a pepper jelly for a little kick.
Sprinkle with slivered almonds or toasted pecans for a rich nutty flavor.
Or serve up several smaller brie rounds with all different toppings! Now that’s a party!
