Would it be possible to do this in a crockpot?
We haven’t tried yet, but maybe in a small crockpot. If you try it please let us know how it works.
It was a huge pain to separate the brie from the casing but other than that, I added some cream cheese and it turned out really good!
try taking the small frozen phyllo cups found in the freezer section and place a small piece of brie in the bottom of each,.top with tomato mixture and bake. Great for parties !
Made this on a whim because I had all the ingredients in the fridge and I love them all. It couldn’t have been easier. This will make many repeat appearances.
Just stumbled on this 3+ year old post of yours on Pinterest. Gotta love it!
And I love baked brie. Around the holidays, TJs sold this hot pepper jelly that was fabulous and with brie, I loved it. Need to make your dip!
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!
This sounds so amazingly good!
yeah, i’m so totally serving this on NYE….
“good and fast” – my two favorite words when it comes to food. And, as always, the photos are brilliant.
This recipe has become part of my appetizer repertoire.
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)!
Wow this is incredible and will be a perfect addition this year to our family Christmas eve dinner!!
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!
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
Another great recipe that would adapt well to the slow-roasted tomatoes I put into the freezer this summer!
OH, you had me at ‘brie’ but the sundried tomato was just an added bonus, and the melted part put it over the top!
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!
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?
