When doing this recipe or any other that covers a round of Brie do you remove rind?

Do you suggest removing the rind first?

I love any recipe where the main ingredient is Brie or Camembert!

I don't recall ever seeing an 'appetizer' disappear as quickly as this one. Only good thing was I had the ingredients to make a second one ... bless toaster ovens.

I made this for my cookie swap two years ago and again last year. I couldn't remember the name of the recipe last year, but remembered the ingredients so tried it from memory. Both times it was a hit. It gets requested for all my parties now. The cheese will ooze out very nicely once you cut it and is oh, so good.
