How to Make This Baked Brie Recipe
This baked brie recipe is merely a wheel of brie, some sun-dried tomatoes, garlic and parsley. That’s it!! Chop up the sun-dried tomatoes and garlic while the oven is heating up, throw them on top of a wheel of brie, and stick it the oven. While it’s in the oven, chop up a little bit of parsley. Cook the brie until it is soft and starting to ooze, then add the parsley and your appetizer is done.
I told you it was easy!!

Tips and Tricks
- You want to make sure and use sun-dried tomatoes in oil, not the dried sun-dried tomatoes. You can usually find these in the canned vegetable aisle. They will come in a jar, versus just the dried tomatoes that usually come in a plastic pouch.
- You will leave the rind on the brie. It is totally edible, and will hold all of the cheese together.
- The recipe calls for you to add some of the oil from the tomatoes to the mixture. You don’t need a lot, I usually just use a small spoonful or two. It is pretty forgiving, so use what you’d like.
- This is best served warm, when the cheese is melted. The good thing is that it only takes 10 minutes to bake.
- If I have any leftovers, I’ll refrigerate them and reheat it in the microwave in small, single person portions. It is best the first time it is made, but totally can be eaten as leftovers!

Thank you for sharing your recipe
Susan Kopcha says
This is a great recipe. We love brie and the flavors in this combination are perfect. I decided to sprinkle some pine nuts on top about half way through the baking process, adding another complimenting flavor and some crunch. My husband is still raving about this one.
Andrea Tomlinson says
Looks wonderful! Any other herb you would recommend in place of parsley? Looking to make this for my birthday. Thanks!
Joyce says
Really good! I made thus years ago and you nailed it!
Mary Lynn says
Can I wrap it in pastry dough do you think? or better as is?
Deborah says
I’m sure it would work if you wrapped it. I do love baked brie that is wrapped in pastry, but this one is delicious without the pastry as well!
Jacqui says
Delicious thank you
Deborah says
I’m so glad that you liked it!!
Paul says
Do you cut the rind off the top?
Deborah says
Nope – I leave the whole rind on.
Terry says
Do you recommend just dried sun-dried tomatoes or the ones that come in oil?
Deborah says
It is the ones that come in the oil. You will need some of the oil for part of the recipe.
Donna says
Making this weekend…About how much of the oil from tomatoes should I add.
Deborah says
You don’t need a lot – maybe a tablespoon? I usually just a regular spoonful or two. I hope you love it as much as I do!
Laura (Tutti Dolci) says
I love baked brie, the sun-dried tomato topping on this looks so good!
Joanne says
I love how this baked brie is all savory, unlike most which rely on jam to offset the brie. Definitely happening on NYE!
