Do you leave rind on baked brie? ›

Do you take the rind off before baking? Keep the rind on, as it will help the cheese hold its shape so it doesn't all melt out. The rind is also edible, so you can enjoy it with the melted cheese, or simply remove the top layer after baking and dunk in crusty bread like a fondue.

Unwrap your Brie and place your wheel on a small piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet.

2. Baked Brie Baking dish – the most practical way to bake / serve brie is if you have a shallow round ovenproof dish that is slightly larger than the brie. This will stop the cheese from oozing out everywhere when people start eating it but it needs to be shallow otherwise you'll burn your fingers trying to scoop it!

What happens if you over bake brie? ›

Be careful not to overbake the brie. The cheese can go from a melty lava-like texture to hard in the middle if it's in the oven for too long. Always bake on a piece of parchment paper as you will use it to transfer the brie from the baking sheet to your serving tray.
