Submitted by Bonnie G #2

"Saw this recipe on FB from delish.com and had to try it, made in a small cast iron skillet and baked on the grill and it turned out amazing. This is one that would be great for a party or just enjoying with family. Easy, looks impressive and fast to put together on short notice"

2. Season to taste with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes.
3. Place brie in cast Iron skillet then top with tomato mixture.
4. Place on hot grill and cook until brie is melted, about 20 minutes. (Just because it isn't oozing, doesn't mean it's not hot and ready, to test just poke sides with a knife to see if cheese is melty inside).

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.

Melty cheese with olive oil and garlicky tomatoes on Italian bread and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. What's not to like?

Yum!!! Finally got a chance to use my tiny cast iron skillet and it worked perfectly for this appetizer! It wasn't until halfway through that we realized the basil was still on the cutting board - so sorry for the naked picture! It was excellent, both before and after! Thanks for posting!
