Baked Brie is the easiest slam dunk appetizer ever invented. If you can turn on the oven you can make one of these ooey gooey people pleasers! Here are my best baked Brie recipes to get you started.
baked Brie 101 ~
- Start with a full wheel of Brie. Wheels of Brie come in many sizes, from tiny individual sizes all the way up to a kilo or more!
- You can substitute Camembert cheese in any of these recipes, but be aware it often has a slightly stronger flavor.
- As a general rule, allow 1 ounce of cheese per person, so an 8 ounce wheel of cheese would serve 8, and so on.
- Yes, the rind is totally edible!
- Rind off or on for baking? Some people slice the top rind off before baking, but I leave the rind intact because I think it makes it easier all around to bake and serve. The rind of part of the Brie experience, and it keeps everything together neatly, so I say leave it on.
- Hint: naked baked Brie is totally amazing, all by itself. So if you’re pressed for time you can just plop the wheel of cheese in a baking dish and heat it up for about 10 minutes in a pre-heated 350F oven, and then let everybody go at it. No one will feel deprived, trust me.

Mmmmm….baked Brie is always one of my go-to appetizers and now I’m armed with lots of fabulous new inspiration!! Pinned!!
I love these, they are so simple, and the #5 cast iron skillet (I own 4 just for these things, lol) works great. I came across a recipe at a supermarket. They put Boars Head Brown Sugar and Spice Ham Glaze on it with chopped walnuts and then baked it. It was amazing. https://boarshead.com/products/condiments/957-brown-sugar-spice-ham-glaze-cooking-sauce-11oz?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2IjolcLN1wIVBJ7ACh1qZwqPEAAYASAAEgIAbPD_BwE
I love that glaze idea Pat, I’ll try it!
Baked brie just screams holiday to me! It is a must-make every year, so I’m loving all this baked brie inspiration 🙂
OMG Sue these all look amazing! I”m saving these to try one at time. I could honestly feel my waistline expanding just looking at these photos. UGH!
Definitely party food, Vicki, so you’ll have some help 😉
