Literally translated to “Brie baked in a pastry crust,” inside each box of Brie en Croûte you’ll find a wheel of double cream Brie encased in an unbaked pastry crust that bakes to a delightfully flaky finish — we have left out the baking part, because we’ve determined that it looks better and it tastes better if you do the baking part at home. It’s a miniscule amount of prep (place it on a foil or parchment-lined baking sheet, and bake!) with a mightily palate-pleasing payoff; if you want to fancy things up further, let it defrost a bit and top with & , a dollop of tart , or perhaps a sprinkle of before baking. No matter how you serve it, Trader Joe’s Ready to Bake Brie en Croûte is an elegant addition to your holiday table.
