Tips and Tricks for Baked Brie

1. Do I take the rind off of the brie before baking? No, I do not take the rind off of the brie before I bake it because it helps to hold it together.  If not, it will all melt out onto the pan.  The rind is edible, just a little thicker, and doesn't melt well.  I do cut the rind off of the top, but that is just my preference and not mandatory.  
2. Do you cover brie when baking it?  There is no need to cover the brie unless you have a topping on there that might burn.
3. What jelly goes best with brie?  So many options, but I like fig jam the best.  Also, try raspberry, cranberry, strawberry, apricot, or peach.
4. What Should I Serve with Brie?  So many options; crackers, crusty bread, naan bread, pretzels, sliced apples, pears, plums, or peaches.
