    Air fryer brie is one of my favorite appetizers to make during the holidays. This recipe literally could not be any easier!

    Also known as brie en croute, although this recipe sounds fancy, it's actually quite simple. You can serve with crackers, with toast or eat on their own as wedges - kind of tastes like a grilled cheese!

    Recipe FAQs

    Can you warm brie in the air fryer?

    It is my favorite way to warm brie! You can also make it in the oven, however I love the crisp that air frying provides.

    Should you cut the rind off brie before baking?

    You do not need to cut the rind off prior to frying the brie. It is edible and helps the cheese to hold together.

    How long does it take for brie to cook?

    This recipe takes 15 minutes total to cook.
