Baked Brie
Dec 13, 2025 12:40 PM
Whenever I’m hosting and need a “wow” appetizer that’s easy to pull off, especially during the busy holiday season, baked brie is my top pick. Effort-wise, it’s just a step up from putting out a wedge of brie—and the warm, cheesy goodness is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. The best part is that it takes just 10 minutes to prep, and you can slide it into the oven right as your guests arrive.
A handy tip: scoring the top of the Brie rind makes the appetizer more inviting to dive into and prevents anyone from getting large chunks of rind in their portion. While the rind is completely edible, many folks prefer to leave it behind, and scoring makes it simple to do so. This baked brie is an easy alternative to my classic brie wrapped in puff pastry.
