It looks impressively elegant but requires almost no actual cooking skill.
The contrast between warm, creamy cheese and crunchy walnuts is completely addictive.
You can assemble it in under five minutes and still impress every guest who walks through your door.

02 -

Do not skip the resting time after baking or the cheese will be too runny to scoop and you will end up with a messy plate.
If your Brie is cold from the fridge, let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before baking so it melts evenly without drying out the edges.

03 -

Chill the Brie for 15 minutes before baking if it feels too soft, this helps it hold its shape instead of collapsing into a puddle.
Use a spatula to transfer the baked Brie to your serving plate while it is still hot, waiting too long makes it stick to the dish.
