o create a star-shaped indentation in the middle of a wheel of brie, you’ll need a star-shaped cookie cutter. Then, follow these steps: 1. Put your brie in the fridge overnight or in the freezer for an hour. The goal here is to bring the brie to a cool temperature, which makes it easier to cut cleanly. 2. Use the cookie cutter to press into the center of the brie about half an inch deep. Then remove the cookie cutter. 3. Using a butter knife, slowly pry up the brie in the area that you cut with the cookie cutter. The soft cheese inside the brie will cling to the hard edges, which you’ve already cut. Make sure to be super careful so that the shape left afterwards matches the cookie-cutter shape. 4. Fill the half-inch deep star-shaped indentation with red or blue jam for a patriotic look.
