Oh my, we’re weak at the knees. This brie dish is absolutely sensational. I made one-third of a batch with 180 grams (6 ounces) of brie. I used slightly more than 1/2 cup of tomatoes to make everything look more balanced and followed the rest of the recipe. Because it was a smallish piece of cheese, it was oozing within 13 minutes, which is great if you are in a hurry. I served it from the cast iron pan. Three of us ate this as an appetiser and also spooned over baked potatoes.

LOVE this a whole lot! I followed the recipe as noted, but added basil as one of the pics show and glad I did because it was perfect! Taking a picture didn't stand a chance, as my family devoured it in no time! For the cold months, I'm going to try this in the oven for parties and for whenever. A true keeper. Thank you Bonnie for sharing. Made it for FYC.
