SUN-DRIED TOMATO BAKED BRIE
Yummy baked brie and sundried tomatoes combine for an excellent warm dip for crusty bread or crackers of your choice. Instead of a small baking dish, I used a couple of ramekins for individual servings for my partner & myself. Since the brie really bakes down, be sure and fill your ramekins or small baking dish to the top.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Remove rind from Brie, then cut brie into cubes.
- In small bowl, combine sun dried tomatoes, garlic, thyme, fresh cracked black pepper.
- In a small 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.
- Allow the layering to at least reach the rim of the baking dish. The dip will melt down considerably.
- 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.
- Serve warm, with bread or crackers.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the taste of your sun-dried tomatoes. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and have a firm texture.
- Slice the tomatoes thinly: This will help them dry more evenly and quickly. Try to slice them about 1/4-inch thick.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices: This will add flavor and complexity to your sun-dried tomatoes. Some popular options include garlic, basil, oregano, and thyme.
- Dry the tomatoes in a sunny spot: If you live in a sunny climate, you can simply place the tomatoes on a baking sheet and leave them in the sun for several days. If you live in a cooler climate, you can use a food dehydrator or oven to dry the tomatoes.
- Store the sun-dried tomatoes in an airtight container: Once the tomatoes are dry, store them in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. They will keep for several months.
Conclusion:
Sun-dried tomatoes are a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are a great way to add flavor and complexity to your favorite recipes. Whether you use them in a salad, pasta dish, or pizza, sun-dried tomatoes are sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you have a batch of ripe tomatoes on hand, give sun-drying a try!
