Warm. Cheesy. Flavorful. Dip. On. Bread. Need we say more?
This post just needs to be short and simple. Call it cheating, we don’t care. It’s almost like a mathmatical equation that doesn’t need further explanation:
Melted Brie + tangy, sundried tomatoes + aromatic garlic + fragrant thyme + heat + bread = FABULOUS!!
It’s holiday party season for us and that means becoming the popular people at work (popularity is seasonal) because we bring the really good stuff: DIP! Tis the season to indulge in all the cheese and bread that you can eat because SANTA says it’s OK. We’re good kids and listen to Santa.
So there it is kids, the math says it all. Words don’t need to describe how good and fast this is.
We’re ending this post here so that we can spend more time getting back to eating our dip…and so should you.
In the beginning…
during…
The End…

Baked Brie Recipe
Ingredients:
about 8-10 oz. Brie
8 oz. jar of sun dried tomatoes packed in oil, chopped
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 heaping teaspoon of dried thyme or 3/4 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
fresh cracked black pepper
Baguette or crackers
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees
2. Remove rind from Brie, then cut brie into cubes.
3. In small bowl, combine sun dried tomatoes, garlic, thyme, fresh cracked black pepper
4. In baking dish, layer the base with about 1/3 of the sun dried tomato mixture, then top with 1/2 of the chopped brie. Repeat the layering until the top layer is the sun dried tomato mixture.
5. Allow the layering to at least reach the rim of the baking dish. The dip will melt down considerably.
6. Bake in oven for about 30 minutes, or until the brie completely melts and becomes bubbly. You may need to stir the dip one time, about 15 minutes into the baking to combine the layers.
7. Serve warm, with bread or crackers

Those sun dried tomatoes are gorgeous, are they home made?
Just looking to that pic i am salvaing.
I am sure going to make this.
What a great idea! I like this a lot.
I imagine I’d have to keep the dip warm for spreading. But I may have to give this a go this weekend for a trial run during football.
This looks fabulous! I’m all about serving a variety of dips — so easy to prepare, so easy to serve. And you’re right, it doesn’t get any better than ooey, gooey. Your first photo is gorgeous!!
Like?! Love it
Ah, this, a crusty baguette, and a glass of red and I’m all set! It’s okay with Santa, well because 1) Santa’s not big on fasting anyway, and 2) I won’t want to eat anything else if I’ve got this already!
We love your sweet onion dip recipe and we’ve made it a few times already at home. This dip looks just as good, if not better! You two must be the king and queen of dip or something;)
Delicious! Can’t wait to see what you guys do for your parties this year
This is decadent, can be pulled off summer or winter and oh so bad for you…must therefore taste great!
That’s a beautiful dip. I especially like the fresh thyme in it. I can see why you’d be so popular.
Have you tried it with blackberry jam? Awesome.
That is just so spot on!
Gorgeous photos!!!
Huummmm, you heat my soft spot…brie…. I never had it with sun-dried tomatoes, I bet it’s delicious. Love the photos too!
Even though your post is short and simple, that is all you needed to say! Your description of, “Melted Brie + tangy, sundried tomatoes + aromatic garlic + fragrant thyme + heat + bread = FABULOUS!!” and those pictures killed me. I am hungry like a bear now.
That is just calling my name!
Such torture cannot be good for me. Off to get me some Brie!
sweet baby jesus this looks so darn good. I love brie, and this just adds another layer of awesome to it!
Great stuff guys. Really great photos too.
You two are geniuses! That’s it.
OK, I just had breakfast over here in Japan but I’m already HUGELY hungry because of this post. It’s all YOUR fault. Thanks a lot.
(Baby’s napping at the moment so I can actually use punctuation and capitals! Oh, oh, he’s waking up…better run…)
Wow… I so… want this… @_@
you have put so many of my favorite things into one recipe!! i love it!! it looks so, so, so good!!
That looks sinfully delish. Are you guys as busy as I am? Because I feel like I can barely keep up with my buds let alone my blogging… Gosh, I wish you were here… or me there. No wait, we have snow – so I wish you guys were here. With the dip. And the pups.
xxoo
Gonna bookmark this one for the Superbowl!
I am a sucker for sun-dried/ oven-dried tomatoes. Oooh, the cheesy goodness.
Hmm…looks delicious! Perfect for parties.
Yes please! And no I will not share the bowl. I adore brie. Thank you for this dip recipe.
No darlings, you need not say more. I am drooling here. Have bookmarked this for the holidays!
no, say no more. get back to eating. this looks unbelievably perfect for the holidays.
I love baked brie. Mine has pine nuts, porto, cranberries, red onions, black olives. A pure delice.
This is an excellent example of where a picture is worth a thousand words. It’s making me hungry! Just curious, did you make your own sun-dried tomatoes too?
well hello there, mr. melty, ooey, gooey brie. the only thing more picturesque in my mind is melty, ooey, gooey chocolate, but i won’t discriminate.
It looks like there is brie in my very near future!
Okay, comments closed on the spicy chickens so I’m going to drift into your brie post to leave my message about how thrilled I am that those zippy looking wings are gluten-free (or can be very with no trouble). I love you guys!
As for the beer caps. Looks like you were at a micro-brew beer tasting event or something. Any New Grist or Red Bridge in the mix?
Melissa
Yummy! This would be delish with Champagne!
Like? Me love!
I think this is such a great and easy dish for any party. I especially love the graphics and beautiful photo of the final product…Looks like a tear-sheet from a cookbook! I’ll be first in line to buy one, btw!
OH, you had me at ‘brie’ but the sundried tomato was just an added bonus, and the melted part put it over the top!
Another great recipe that would adapt well to the slow-roasted tomatoes I put into the freezer this summer!
oh wow this looks so good but not something to make for yourself…now I need to find a party so I have a reason to make it.
I too would likt to knwo if the dried tomatoes are jarred or fresh/homemade
The tomatoes we used were jarred, not fresh. Our garden tomatoes this year never made it to any jars, only to the dinner table. But we’ll definitely be using fresh sun dried tomatoes next year!
Wow this is incredible and will be a perfect addition this year to our family Christmas eve dinner!!
There are no words, just the feeling of my mouth beginning to water. Love brie, love sun-dried tomatoes, love garlic & thyme, and definitely LOVE bread. But the thing I love most, is how easy this is to create. Absolutely the way a good appetizer should be, tasty & easy (save the hard work to wow them at dinner)!
“good and fast” – my two favorite words when it comes to food. And, as always, the photos are brilliant.
I think this recipe is going to become part of my appetizer repertoire.
yeah, i’m so totally serving this on NYE….
This sounds so amazingly good!
I never quite know what to do with brie except for the usual brie en croute or just plain brie as part of a cheese tray, so this recipe is a lifesaver – Thank You!
