Instructions

Notes

Brie: This recipe is designed to feature an 8 to 12-ounce wheel of brie. You might find brie sold in larger portions up to 17 inches. Cut larger wheels into quarters before baking, follow the same instructions below, and bake until cheese begins to ooze.
Crostini: To transform store-bought or homemade baguette into crostini, cut the bread into 1/4-inch slices. On a rimmed baking sheet, arrange the pieces of bread in a single layer, then brush with olive oil or melted butter. Bake in a 350-degree oven until lightly toasted, or for about 15 minutes.
Fresh fruit: A pile of fresh fruit adds color to the plate and helps cut through the richness of the cheese. Not sure what fruit to add? See what's in season and go from there. Dried fruit and toasted nuts are also good choices for Baked Brie.
Yield: This Baked Brie recipe makes 6 to 8 appetizer-sized servings.
Storage: Transfer any extra Baked Brie (if you’re lucky enough to have some) to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
