Place brie on a rimmed baking sheet or a 5-inch cast iron skillet. Place into oven and bake until softened, about 12-15 minutes; let cool 5-10 minutes.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine balsamic vinegar and honey until reduced, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in strawberries until softened, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Serve brie warm topped with strawberry mixture and basil; serve with crackers or baguette.
Notes
Prep the cheese. Let the brie sit out at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes prior to baking to allow for even melting.
Leave the rind on. Keeping the rind intact will help the brie hold its shape and structure while it melts during baking. The top layer of the rind can be removed upon serving for dipping and dunking, similarly to fondue.
Use an oven-proof skillet. Use a small cast iron skillet or oven-safe dish that is slightly larger than the diameter of the brie, leaving enough space for the melted brie to ooze out when serving.
Serve warm. Baked brie is best served warm out of the oven. It will start to firm as it sits out, about 10-15 minutes.
