Cooking Tips

• You can use fresh or frozen cherries for the sauce. If using frozen cherries, thaw them before cooking.
• If you don't have brandy, you can substitute it with red wine or cherry juice.
• For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle some chopped nuts, such as walnuts or almonds, on top of the baked brie before adding the sauce.

Storage and Serving

• Cherry-Brandy Baked Brie is best served immediately while it is still warm and gooey.
• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat the leftovers, place the brie in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through.
