Remove the brie from its box and unwrap it. Some brie come in a double wrapping paper and plastic. Remove the plastic packaging, keep the paper on. If there is no paper packaging with our brie, just use a parchment paper to wrap it on one side of the brie.
Put the brie and paper wrapping back into its wooden box so the paper seals the bottom. Remove excess paper if desired. If we have a dish that is slightly bigger than the brie, use simply that without wrapping it with paper.
Place the cheese with its box onto a baking tray and put it onto the middle rack of a 350°F/180°C oven until the inside of the cheese melts and jiggles when the tray is moved, for about 15 minutes.
Pour the honey or other sweet syrup on top and serve hot.
Enjoy!
