I have to tell you-I have a love affair with Brie, it's one of my favorite foods in the world! I usually keep some in the house for snacking and when having friends over I love to serve it as an appetizer.

Normally I keep it simple with a cheese and cracker platter but when I'm feeling super fancy I like to make this Maple Bacon Baked Brie-it looks so elegant and best of all, it's super easy to make and ready in just 20 minutes!

Serving suggestions

I like to serve this baked brie with crackers, crostini, crusty bread, or pita chips. It's also delicious with apple or pear slices too!

This recipe goes great with homemade bruschetta, baked artichoke dip, and blueberry caprese skewers if you're hosting a party!

Can you make baked brie ahead of time?

Because of the maple syrup I don't recommend making this recipe ahead of time. The syrup will make the pastry soggy.

If you really need to assemble it ahead of time, you could opt to leave the maple syrup out of the interior of the pastry and refrigerate the brie after wrapping it in the puff pastry. Then, when ready to bake, add the syrup over the top.
