Cooking times are estimates and vary based on actual oven/stovetop/crockpot used, item thickness and starting temperature. For best results, always verify the internal temperature of your meals. We recommend instant read pocket thermometers - they are inexpensive, convenient and very easy to use!

QUICKTHAW dip by microwaving a few minutes at 50% power, or thaw in refrigerator. Preheat oven to 350F. Transfer dip to oven-safe serving dish. A pie plate or small casserole or ramekin works great.

INTERNAL TEMP: 165F. SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve with sliced baguette, crackers or even crudites!

PRO TIP: This makes a great filling for mushroom caps!

FREEZER TO OVEN: Preheat oven to 450F. Leaving brie in the pan, place pan in center of cookie sheet. Bake 15 minutes, then lower oven temperature to 300F and bake additional 15 minutes until brie is heated throughout and top is golden brown. If top browns before the center is heated throughout, simply cover lightly with sheet of foil to prevent further browning. Let sit 5 minutes. Remove brie from pan (if desired). You can use scissors to snip the sides of the pan to provide easier access to transfer the baked brie, being careful as the pan edges will be sharp. The cheese is warm and gooey (!); transfer carefully using a large spatula.

INTERNAL TEMP: 100F or higher.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS: An assortment of crackers and fruit. Chablis.
