Ingredients for Baked Brie

Brie – Brie is a soft, ripened cheese with a softer interior and a firmer exterior called the rind. It is usually sold in small, medium, or large wheels. The medium to small wheels are the best for this recipe.

Toppings

Change the topping to change the flavor and go either sweet or savory. Our favorites are sweet and nutty, but almost any toppings work

How to Make Baked Brie

  1. Top the Brie with nuts, cranberry sauce, and maple syrup.
  2. Bake it in the oven (per the recipe below).

Tips for Baked Brie

  • For even baking, bring the Brie to room temperature beforehand.
  • Allow the Brie to cool slightly before breaking into it. If it’s too hot, the cheese will be too melty and gush everywhere.
  • If the Brie starts to harden, place it in a small casserole dish (with sides as the cheese will melt) and reheat in the oven or microwave.

  • It can be served with sliced baguette, crostini, or crackers.
  • Fresh fruit platter is great with this baked Brie recipe. Grapes, apples, and melon pair well.

Storing Baked Brie

  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for a few days or stored in the freezer for up to 6 months.
  • The Brie can be made ahead and kept in the refrigerator. Cook just before it is to be served. Don’t cook it ahead of time, or the cheese will solidify.
  • To reheat the baked Brie, cover loosely in aluminum foil, and cook in a preheated 250°F oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Add a little water to the pan to keep the Brie moist.

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.

  • Spread cranberry sauce over brie, combine pecans and maple syrup and spread on top.

  • Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is starting to melt. Remove from oven and allow to cool at least 10 minutes.

Leftover cranberry sauce is perfect in this recipe. Homemade is best and can easily be frozen and saved to use in this recipe.
To “Bake” Brie in the Microwave: Lightly toast the nuts until golden brown in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently. Add the brie to a microwave-safe dish top with cranberry sauce. Microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Top with the pecans and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve immediately.
The rind does not need to be removed from a wheel of brie, and it is edible.
