When baking brie, you can leave the rind intact for added flavor or remove it for a milder taste. The best temperature for baking is 350°F to achieve a gooey texture. Be cautious not to overcook, as it can become rubbery. While you can prep components like toasting pecans and drizzling toppings in advance, it's ideal to bake the brie just before serving to enjoy it warm and gooey.
