Do You Cut the Rind Off Brie Before Baking?

No, you don't need to remove the rind. We keep the rind on the Brie because it's edible and mild in flavor. Some people prefer to remove it before baking. If you remove the rind, wrapping the Brie in puff pastry will help the cheese hold its shape.

How to Serve Baked Brie

Place the baked Brie in the center of a platter and arrange a variety of fresh fruit like apple wedges, sliced pears, grapes and figs around it. It's delicious spread onto crackers or toasted baguette slices. Mixed nuts like walnuts, almonds and pecans also go well with baked Brie.

How to Make Ahead

You can assemble the Brie through Step 2. Wrap the Brie in puff pastry and refrigerate it for up to 1 day before baking and serving.

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (about 8 1/2 ounces), thawed

  • 1 4- to 6-inch round Brie cheese (8 ounces), cold

  • 3 tablespoons raspberry or red currant jam

  • 1 teaspoon canola oil

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Lay puff pastry on the prepared baking sheet. Place Brie in the center. Spread jam over the top. Fold the pastry up and over the Brie, pleating as necessary to enclose it. Gently pinch the dough together at the center to seal. Flip the Brie over so the pastry is seam-side down. Brush the pastry with oil.

  3. Bake until nicely browned, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes and serve warm.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
