Notes
Serve this immediately after it comes out of the oven to ensure you enjoy the melted brie. The cheese can begin to harden after 15 minutes.
Use a ripe brie with a soft velvety texture. Cheeses that are too hard or runny will not bake well.
Don't overbake the cheese. You want gooey brie, but you don't want it to be runny.
