This dish is where classic Italian ingredients meet a traditional French cheese! The combination really works and can be served on its own, with crudites or crackers, or as part of a lunchtime spread of amazing food to nibble on!
How to Make Italian Stuffed Brie
Add sun dried tomatoes, fresh basil, minced garlic, black pepper and a little oil from the tomatoes to a food processor. A regular sized one works OK, but a mini food processor or a stick blender with a bowl attachment is even better. The quantity is pretty small that needs to be processed. You could even just chop everything together by hand if you didn't want to wash up the processor!
Add more oil from the tomato jar as necessary so that a thick paste forms.
Cut a wheel of Brie in half horizontally.
Spread the mixture over the lower half of the Brie.
Place the top of the Brie back on, wrap everything up and place it in the fridge. Remove from the fridge at least five minutes before serving.

Ha - I was just going to ask could you bake it! Is there a reason why you don't recommend baking it ready stuffed?

I haven't tried it but once the cheese has been cut across the middle, when baked I think so much will ooze out that there might not be much left! Of course, the ooey gooey puddle would taste amazing - but probably wouldn't be too pretty!
