This was excellent! I did not have fresh thyme so I substituted with the dry version. My friends and family LOVED it. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Stella! That’s awesome that the dried thyme worked great too.
I love brie so much! What a great idea to add sun dried tomatoes on melted brie!
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?
Melissa
Yummy! This would be delish with Champagne!
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!
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?
I love baked brie. Mine has pine nuts, porto, cranberries, red onions, black olives. A pure delice.
Yes please! And no I will not share the bowl. I adore brie. Thank you for this dip recipe.
no, say no more. get back to eating. this looks unbelievably perfect for the holidays.
No darlings, you need not say more. I am drooling here. Have bookmarked this for the holidays!
Hmm…looks delicious! Perfect for parties.
I am a sucker for sun-dried/ oven-dried tomatoes. Oooh, the cheesy goodness.
Gonna bookmark this one for the Superbowl!
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
you have put so many of my favorite things into one recipe!! i love it!! it looks so, so, so good!!
Wow… I so… want this… @_@
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…)
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. 😉
Such torture cannot be good for me. Off to get me some Brie!
That is just calling my name!
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.
Huummmm, you heat my soft spot…brie…. I never had it with sun-dried tomatoes, I bet it’s delicious. Love the photos too!
That is just so spot on!
Gorgeous photos!!!
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.
This is decadent, can be pulled off summer or winter and oh so bad for you…must therefore taste great!
Delicious! Can’t wait to see what you guys do for your parties this year 🙂
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;)
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! 😉
Like?! Love it 🙂
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!!
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.
Just looking to that pic i am salvaing.
I am sure going to make this.
Those sun dried tomatoes are gorgeous, are they home made?
