Baked brie is the party trick you didn’t know you needed. It’s basically cheese fondue without the complicated metal pot. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the wheel of brie on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the top with a little olive oil or melted butter, then top it with something amazing. Garlic and rosemary? Yes. Brown sugar and pecans? Double yes. A drizzle of maple syrup? Don’t even hesitate. You can even wrap the whole thing in puff pastry for a show-stopping, golden-brown package.

How to Eat Brie
Bake it for 10 to 15 minutes, until the center is warm and molten. Let it sit for a minute before serving, because hot brie is basically magma. You don’t want to burn your tongue and miss out on the best part.
Baked Brie Emergency Note
If you bake it and it leaks out of the rind and turns into a puddle on the pan? Don’t cry. That’s a victory puddle. Scrape it up with a spoon and serve it as a dip. You’re not ruining dinner; you’re making a cheese sauce.
