Cut the brie rind off the top for easy serving.
I’m a big fan of making things as easy as possible for guests. Cutting the rind off the top of the brie is just another step in doing so.
It allows you to dip into the brie rather than have to slice it. The outside rind acts as a wall to hold the cheese in and it will stay warm longer.
