Helpful Tips
- Choose the right brie: Opt for a whole wheel of brie with the rind intact to hold its shape while baking and create the perfect gooey center.
- Prepare the garlic butter: Use fresh garlic and gently melt the butter to infuse it fully without browning.
- Serve immediately: Baked brie is best enjoyed straight out of the oven while the cheese is warm and runny—have your crostini ready!
