SUN-DRIED TOMATO AND PISTACHIO-TOPPED BRIE

Submitted by Bubblette

"Brie is a classic cheese and a favourite on its own. It's even better warmed through, enhanced with Mediterranean flavours and matched with crackers or toasted baguette slices. This sun-dried tomato and pistachio mix rises high above the brie to make sure every bite includes the rich tomato flavour. You can prepare the brie and topping ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 8 hours before baking."
