• Pair puff pastry Brie with a simple salad for a light but special meal.

Little Things I’ve Learned Along the Way

• Let Brie sit at room temperature for a bit before baking so it melts more evenly.

• Use parchment paper under baked Brie to make cleanup easy.

• Don’t overstuff puff pastry; it needs room to puff and bake properly.

• Slice apples and bread fairly thin for sandwiches so the Brie melts smoothly.

• Taste as you go with sauces and toppings; Brie is mild, so a little extra seasoning or sweetness can help the flavors shine.
