      Notes

      Experiment with other flavors. Try different jams like apricot or raspberry for a fun twist!
      Keep an eye on the brie in the oven. It should be soft but not too runny.
      Add something fresh. A sprinkle of herbs can add a pop to both flavor and presentation.
      I’ve found that each of these tips adds something special to the dish.
      Whether you’re trying this for the first time or it’s your party favorite, these notes will ensure success every time! 🎉
