How long can baked brie stay out?

Pumpkin Baked Brie can safely sit out for about 2 hours at room temperature. After that, the soft cheese and pastry may become less appetizing and unsafe. If you’re serving at a party, keep an eye on the clock and store leftovers promptly

Why is my baked brie rubbery?

Overbaking is often the cause. Brie should be soft and gooey when served. Baking Pumpkin Baked Brie for more than 20 minutes, or using a brie that was too cold going in, can make the center tough. Stick to the 15–20 minute window and use room-temperature cheese when possible.

Can I prep baked brie ahead of time?

Absolutely. You can assemble the entire Pumpkin Baked Brie, including the twine and stem, up to 24 hours in advance. Just store it covered in the fridge and bake when ready. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time if chilled.

Why did my baked brie melt?

Brie is meant to soften, but if it melts too much and spills out, the pastry may have torn or wasn’t sealed well. Adding an extra layer of dough underneath, like we do in this recipe, helps hold everything in place and prevents leaks during baking.
