 Ingredients:

  • 2 (8 oz) packages Brie cheese
  • 2 tsp fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, stripped from strips
  • 1 cup sun dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained well and chopped
  • 1/2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
  • French bread crostini or crackers




Step-by-Step:
Preheat oven to about 325-350 degrees.
Remove the rind from the Brie.

 
Cut the Brie into chunks.

Drain the sun dried tomatoes well, and chop into bite sized or small pieces.  Combine the minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, and sun dried tomatoes.
Add in cracked black pepper.

Combine.
Layer cheese, then topping in an oven proof casserole or black iron skillet.  Bake for about 20 - 25 minutes.  I gave it a stir about halfway through.
The Brie will get all bubbly and melted, and slightly toasted on top.  Serve hot with French bread crostini or crackers.
