Instructions
To ensure even baking, remove your Brie from the refrigerator 20 minutes before baking.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Crumble a piece of parchment paper and place it on a baking sheet. Unwrap the Brie and place the wheel on the parchment paper.
Bake for 10 to 20 minutes, checking after 10 minutes. After 10 minutes the Brie will be soft. At 20 minutes, the center will be very runny. Choose when you want to stop baking. I prefer right in the middle, around 15 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and use the parchment paper to transfer the Brie to a serving dish or platter. I used a decorative cutting board. Top the Brie with the orange marmalade and almonds and serve immediately with crackers, fruit, and fresh herbs.
