- Tip: To cut the top off the round of Brie more easily, first place the cheese in the freezer for a few minutes to firm it up slightly.
- Do Ahead: Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before continuing.
- Alternate Plan: If you can’t find a round piece of Brie you can use a wedge. (I sometimes find that the Brie that comes as a wedge is higher quality than those that come as a round piece). Omit the foil step and put it in a baking dish and pile mushrooms atop the Brie. Bake as directed above. It may be a bit more “messy” but will taste just as good!
