The contrast between warm, melted Brie and the sweet-tart apricot topping is pure magic
It comes together in under 30 minutes but looks like you ordered it from a fancy restaurant
Everyone gets excited when they see it coming out of the oven, guaranteed

Don't overbake or you'll lose that beautiful contrast between the slightly firm rind and melted center
Letting the Brie come to room temperature before baking makes a huge difference in the final texture
A pinch of flaky sea salt on top right before serving creates this incredible sweet-salty moment

If you're worried about the rind being too tough, you can slice it off the top before adding toppings
Serve with small spreading knives so guests can get the perfect ratio of cheese to topping to bread
