What is Baked Brie?

• Baked brie is a wheel of mild soft cheese that is baked. Once baked the center melts, however the edible rind keeps the cheese from pouring out. Once sliced into, expect the melted cheese to come pouring out, turning into an easy t dip into cheese.
• While bruschetta baked brie is delicious, there are lots of other options for topping baked brie as well. Using something as simple as honey and walnuts is great, or going a little bit more elaborate with cranberries (Cranberry Baked Brie) is another great option.
