Sun-dried Tomato and Pesto Baked Brie Dip


This is a colorful, flavorful European inspired dip combines the 
French cheese which is creamy and mild with the sweet and aromatic Italian Pesto. 
The sun-dried tomatoes offer the perfect tanginess to round out this crowd-pleasing dip.


Start with 8 oz of Brie Cheese carefully cut off the rind and into chunks.

The rind is completely edible, so that is a personal preference to remove it. 
Thankfully, there is nothing to worry about if some is left behind.  


To the chunked Brie, add 1/2 cup of drained Sun-Dried Tomatoes, drained

Sun-dried tomatoes are often packed in oil, 
so it is really important to drain them first to avoid having too much oil in the dip. 


Then, add 2 tablespoons of fresh, home made pesto to the dip.
