ADDITINAL INFORMATION!

What kind of Brie should I use for Baked Brie?

Double Cream Brie should be used to make baked brie. The consistency will be creamy and thick enough to dip into and not as runny as a triple cream brie. Triple cream brie does work and melt well, but it will be a thinner consistency. The regular brie I tested was a complete fail and turned out like a cottage cheese consistancy.

Does anyone else crave soft cheeses when pregnant?

Pregnancy comes with its challenges and the food cravings for unsafe pregnancy foods are the worst for me. I am such a cheese lover with this being my 4th pregnancy, I needed to really satisfy that soft cheese craving safely. Thank goodness for Air Fryer Baked Brie recipe, my craving is finally satisfied. I air fried the Brie to 165F to make sure I could safely consume it.
