How long do you bake brie at 350 degrees?

Bake it at 350 degrees F for 10 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is hot and slightly melting. Start watching it at 8 minutes, so it does not burn or melt too much.

Do you have to remove the rind from baked brie?

No, the rind is edible. I take most of the top rind off so guests get a bigger scoop of the creamy cheese inside, and I leave the sides and bottom so the cheese keeps its shape.

Can I wrap the brie in puff pastry?

Yes, if you like. You can use puff pastry or phyllo dough, and the pastry will take longer to bake than this version, so follow the package directions for your dough.

What do you serve with baked brie?

Serve it with crackers, bread, or fruit for dipping. It also fits well on a cheese platter or alongside other holiday appetizers.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Open the package of brie and remove the paper wrapping.
Use a sharp knife to scrape the thin white rind off the top of the cheese (optional).
Place the brie in a round baking dish or a cast iron skillet.
Top the cheese with the chopped walnuts and dried cranberries, then drizzle the honey over the top to cover it.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is hot and slightly melting. Start watching it at 8 minutes so it does not burn or melt too much.
Serve warm with crackers, bread, or fruit.

Notes

The rind is edible, so you can leave it on if you like. I take most of the top rind off so everyone gets a bigger scoop of the creamy cheese inside.
Leave the side and bottom rind in place, because the cheese needs it to hold its shape.
Start watching the brie at 8 minutes. Every oven is different, and you want it soft but not runny.
Let it cool for a few minutes before serving so the cheese is easier to scoop.
Want it fancier? Wrap the brie in puff pastry before baking, then bake until golden.
