Notes
Why do we put the cheese on parchment instead of baking it right in the serving dish?
If you bake it in the serving dish your dish will become hot and will probably burn the hands your enthusiastic guests swooping in for a dip in the melted cheese.
Variations:
For sweet toppings, consider options like various jams, fruit compotes, chutneys, dried fruits, fresh berries, figs, or even cranberry sauce.
On the savory side, indulge in caramelized onions, sun-dried tomatoes, olive tapenade, bacon, roasted peppers, herbs, or sautéed mushrooms.
The creaminess of brie pairs beautifully with salty, crunchy nuts.
Mix something sweet, something savory and something crunchy and you’ve got a delectable appetizer.
