BAKED BRIE WITH BROWN SUGAR
UPDATE: After the first review I edited the recipe using less butter. I am one of those cooks who never measures things, so I estimated, and obviously, it was too much butter. The idea is just to brush softened butter over the surface of the brie. I hope this is better! Thanks! This is great party food. A friend gave me this recipe after we all fell in love with it at her party. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use a ripe brie. A ripe brie will be soft and creamy, with a slightly runny center. This will help it to melt and spread easily when baked.
- Score the brie before baking. This will help the brie to melt evenly and prevent it from puffing up too much.
- Don't overbake the brie. The brie should be baked until it is melted and gooey, but not so long that it starts to brown. This will help to prevent it from becoming dry and crumbly.
- Serve the brie immediately. Baked brie is best served immediately, while it is still warm and melted. You can serve it with crackers, bread, or fruit. You can also drizzle it with honey or maple syrup.
