I recommend keeping the rind on brie when baking so you can place all the toppings on it! It’s edible, don’t worry.

Yes, you can soften brie in the microwave as well if you’re in a pinch! I recommend placing it in a microwave-safe bowl and microwaving it in 60-second increments, as each microwave is different.
