What happens if you overcook brie?

Second, don't overcook the Brie. Twenty to 25 minutes in a 350°F (177°C) oven without the puff pastry crust, or up to 35 minutes with it, should be enough to heat the cheese through. In fact, overcooking it, especially if you haven't cut the rind, may actually re-harden the cheese and make it tough and unappetizing.

How do you know when baked brie is done?

You will know when the brie is done if the cheese is soft to touch. Let cool for about 5 minutes, then serve immediately. Baked brie tastes best when it is served warm.

Can I bake half a brie?

Slice the brie in half. Line a baking sheet with foil and place the brie rind on the foil. Then drizzle the honey on top. Bake and serve!

How long can brie be left out?

4 hours

Can you eat the rind on Brie?

Yes, the bloomy rind is completely safe to eat and even keeps the inside safe from any potentially unwanted microorganisms during production. The rind on Brie not only protects and encases the cheese – it also adds a subtle, earthy flavor.

Does brie go bad?

Typically, the softer the cheese, the more quickly it will go bad. Since brie is a very soft cheese, it has a very short shelf life and is usually only good for one or two weeks after the cheese has been opened, when properly stored in the refrigerator.

Why does my brie taste like ammonia?

The taste or smell of ammonia indicates that brie is past its ideal ripeness. The more that brie ages, the more ammonia you'll find. If there is only a minor taste or smell that dissipates as the brie warms and the center is exposed, then it is still safe to eat.

How do you get the ammonia taste out of Brie?

The ammonia smell generally dissipates after the cheese has aired out for several minutes. Simply unwrap the cheese and hour or so before serving and you'll be fine. Most white bloomy cheeses taste better at room temperature so airing out on the counter accomplishes both goals.

How would you describe the taste of Brie?

The flavor of brie is rich, buttery, fruity, and increasingly earthy with age. It has a runny, creamy texture and a strong earthy aroma.
