What kind of Brie should I use for Baked Brie?

For baked brie, it’s best to use double cream brie. It melts into a creamy, thick consistency that’s
perfect for dipping. Triple cream brie also melts well but tends to be thinner and runnier. Avoid
using regular brie, as it can result in a grainy, cottage cheese-like texture instead of a smooth,
melty finish.
