Wow! Great blend of flavors - It's runny (or perhaps I left it in the oven longer than intended but it was wonderful this way) so serve with napkins, spoons or bibs. Wonderful appetizer. I served it with crusty baguette slices. Baked it in an attractive oven proof dish and that came from the oven to the table. I used a small brie round (recipe doesn't specify) and cut the recipe in half. Perfect for 3- 4 people

We assemebled the entire thing a day ahead and stuck it in the fridge until we were ready to bake. Served as an appetizer for Thanksgiving dinner. The savory ingredients were a nice balance to the brie. Everyone really enjoyed it. I do agree that the balsamic flavor wasn't quite as strong as I would have liked, being a huge fan of vinegar. So I might add more next time. But would definitely make again. It is more labor intensive than most of our other baked brie dishes, but it's worth the time for a special occassion.

I think next time I would try Unico's presliced marinated sundried tomatoes. We found the herb mixture was a bit unbalanced with the vinegar and olive oil. I actually added more balsamic to give it more moisture. Thank you for posting the recipe, it was alot of fun to try.

Thought the re-hydrated Sun Dried Tomatoes made it a little "chewy".
