Fresh tomatoes and basil loaded on top of delicious gooey brie will make this Bruschetta Baked Brie your favorite go-to easy party appetizer!

Baked brie is a staple when it comes to party appetizers. It’s very easy to make, super flavorful, and looks stunning. Using fresh tomatoes and basil is great for the topping, and it pairs perfectly with the mild brie cheese flavor. 

What is Baked Brie?

• Baked brie is a wheel of mild soft cheese that is baked. Once baked the center melts, however the edible rind keeps the cheese from pouring out. Once sliced into, expect the melted cheese to come pouring out, turning into an easy t dip into cheese.
• While bruschetta baked brie is delicious, there are lots of other options for topping baked brie as well. Using something as simple as honey and walnuts is great, or going a little bit more elaborate with cranberries (Cranberry Baked Brie) is another great option.
