Frequently Asked Questions
Should you remove the rind before putting brie on pizza?
The rind is edible and adds a subtle earthy flavor. Slice brie into wedges or rounds with the rind on — it will soften in the oven. Some prefer to remove it for a smoother melt, but it is entirely a matter of preference.
What temperature does brie melt on pizza?
Brie starts to soften and melt around 150°F. In a hot pizza oven, it will develop a beautifully gooey consistency in minutes. Cut it into thin slices for the most even melting.
