I've been wanting to try baked brie for a while now. I think the first time I really saw it was on an episode of Down Home with the Neelys. :) They baked brie on a grill and I thought that was just genius. I am a HUGE brie fan. So I've been stoked to try it ever since.
This is also a super easy appetizer idea in case you are having guests over anytime soon. You only need two ingredients: puff pastry and brie. Simply wrap the brie in puff pastry (I cut the excess dough with an acorn cookie cutter to add a little decoration to the top) place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 375°F for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve hot with sliced apples, grapes, crackers or bread. You could also serve this along with jams or honey. Enjoy! xo. Emma
P.S. Please pretend you don't see that giant crumb on my hand... since I (apparently) didn't. #ewww
A note about the rind: I did not cut the rind off before baking. It is perfectly edible and you actually don't notice it much after your brie is baked. When I'm eating brie unbaked I sometimes cut off the rind, simply because I don't enjoy it. So, either way really. It's totally up to you.




Apple slices and brie looks delicious! Did you cut the white rind off? I don't know if I like it's weird mushroomyness x

You can add a bit of jam or fig spread over the top of the brie and then wrap it in the puff pastry for an added layer of flavor. It looks delicious.

If you want to kick it up a notch, add some brown sugar and raspberries or slices of mango to the brie, cover with the puff pastry, then bake. It comes out so good!

I love baked Brie! Try spreading raspberry or fig jam right on the Brie before covering it with the puff pastry! Delicious! Happy 2013.

I absolutely LOVE baked brie.
My favorite recipe is one from Epicurious, with raspberry preserves and rosemary.

I barely noticed the crumb on your hand until you mentioned it but I like how it just makes this whole thing feel even more "real" and cute in a way. It's nice :)
And that Brie...ugh, looks delicious!
You have a lovely blog!
