Notes

Prep the cheese and have it ready to go in the oven 10 minutes before guests arrive. That way it’s perfectly melty and delicious to eat right away.
If you need to reheat your baked brie, place it back on the baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about five minutes, or until warmed through.
Baked brie is best served immediately after it’s been baked. However, if you need to make it ahead of time, it will stay gooey for about 30 minutes.
Top the melted cheese with any topping you prefer. This can be seasonal, berries, nuts, etc.
