Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes
  • 1 shallot diced
  • 4 garlic cloves thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons honey, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, plus additional for serving
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 78 ounces brie wheel
  • 1/8 cup basil chiffonade
  • Flaky sea salt for garnish
  • Crostini to serve

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven or grill to 400 degrees. If using the grill, prepare for indirect, two-zone cooking baking the charcoal to one side, or only igniting two burners for a gas grill.
  2. Add the tomatoes, olive oil, vinegar, 1 teaspoon honey, shallots, garlic, salt, crushed red pepper, and oregano to a bowl and toss to combine. Spread the tomato mixture into a small baking dish or cast-iron pan in an even layer.
  3. Place the baking dish or skillet into the oven. If grilling place the skillet on the cooler side of the grill and close the lid.
  4. Allow the tomatoes to cook for 10-15 minutes until they are bubbling, slumpy, and beginning to burst.
  5. Score the top of the brie wheel. Sprinkle a little additional crushed red pepper flakes over the top of the brie and gently nestle it into the tomatoes.
  6. Allow the brie to bake for 15-18 minutes until the scored rind begins to curl and the cheese is warmed through.
  7. To serve, drizzle the remaining 1 teaspoon of honey over the brie. Garnish with flaky sea salt over the brie and tomatoes and add the basil to the tomato mixture.
  8. Serve with crostini, crackers, or your favorite dippers. 

Notes

  1. If making this on the grill you can add wood chips to your charcoal for even more flavor.
  2. Regular balsamic vinegar can also be used. It will be slightly more acidic.
