Tips for Making Caramelized Baked Brie

  • Make sure the brie is cold before baking. This will help prevent it from becoming too runny.
  • Use a sharp knife to score the rind of the brie. This will help the caramel sauce penetrate the cheese.
  • Bake the brie for the correct amount of time. Overbaking will cause the cheese to become dry and crumbly.
  • Let the brie cool slightly before serving. This will help prevent it from becoming too runny.
  • Serve the brie with your favorite accompaniments, such as crackers, fruit, and nuts.
