Ingredients and substitutions

Ingredients on a counter top.
  • Brie: Any round wheel of brie from 8 ounces to 16 ounces works well for this recipe. Where can you find a wheel of brie? Look in your local grocer's deli section.
  • Apricot jam - Can be substituted with honey, maple syrup, or another flavor of jam. Strawberry jam and fig jam are also great choices.
  • Walnuts - Can be omitted or substituted with pistachios or pecans.

How to make baked brie

Topping baked brie with apricot jam and walnuts.
  1. Unwrap your brie wheel and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until warm and melty in the center (test with a toothpick).
  2. Remove from oven, transfer to a serving tray, and top with jam and walnuts. Serve with crackers or crostini.

Tips and tricks

Keep your brie warm longer - Bake it in a shallow pan, like a cast iron skillet or a pie pan. Serve your brie in the warm pan straight from the oven.

Use the parchment to transfer warm brie - Trim your parchment to size and transfer it straight to a serving tray to prevent your melty brie from splitting.

Storage

Have leftover baked brie? It makes an excellent leftover and keeps for up to a week in the refrigerator.

If your leftover brie has been sliced open, I suggest reheating leftovers in a bowl or small ramekin. Brie reheats quickly in the microwave - up to 2 minutes for an entire wheel, less for smaller portions.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to remove the rind from my brie?

Do not remove the rind before baking your brie. The rind holds your cheese together while it melts in the oven, keeping its shape and making it much easier to serve. The rind on brie is edible, so there's no need to remove it after baking either. Simply enjoy the rind along with the melty center of your brie.

What do you serve with baked brie?

Baked brie can be served with a variety of crackers, pita chips, flatbread, sliced apples, sliced pears, and crostini (thinly sliced and toasted bread drizzled in olive oil).

Notes

    This is an awesome baked Brie recipe. I made it for a family and friends gathering. Everyone loved it. And it’s so easy to make! I toasted the walnuts to bring out the beautiful nutty flavor. Definitely will be making this again. And I got to use the new brie cheese baking dish I bought! A win-win.

    I have tried many of these baked Brie recipes. This is by far the best crowd pleaser and easiest for the hostess.
