Yields: 4-6 servings Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 15-20 minutes

Ingredients:

1 (8-10 ounce) wheel of Brie cheese
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 medium bell pepper, cut into bite-sized pieces (any color works well)
½ cup chopped tomatoes (cherry tomatoes halved, or Roma tomatoes diced)
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, divided (or more, to taste)
1-2 tablespoons avocado oil
Optional: Fresh basil or parsley, chopped, for garnish

Serving Suggestions (Keto-Friendly):

Keto crackers
Pork rinds
Celery sticks
Cucumber slices
Bell pepper strips (raw)
Radish slices

Equipment:

Small oven-safe baking dish or cast iron skillet (just large enough to hold the Brie wheel with some space around it)
Fork or small knife

Instructions:

Preheat Oven & Prep Brie: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the wheel of Brie cheese in your small oven-safe baking dish or cast iron skillet.
- Using a fork or small knife, gently poke several holes evenly across the top rind of the Brie. This helps the heat penetrate and the toppings settle.
Add Toppings:
- Spread the Dijon mustard evenly all over the top of the Brie wheel.
- Sprinkle about ¼ teaspoon of the crushed red pepper flakes over the mustard.
- Evenly scatter the bell pepper pieces and chopped tomatoes over the Brie.
- Sprinkle with the remaining ¼ teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes (add more if you like extra heat!).
- Drizzle generously with avocado oil over the vegetables and Brie.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the Brie is visibly soft and gooey in the center (you can gently press the sides to check), and the vegetables are slightly softened.
Serve & Enjoy! Carefully remove the hot dish from the oven.
- Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.
- Serve immediately with your favorite keto-friendly crackers, pork rinds, or fresh vegetable dippers. Enjoy this amazing cheesy dip!

Tips for Success:

Choose a Good Brie: A quality Brie wheel will melt beautifully. You can leave the rind on; it’s edible and adds to the flavor.
Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on the Brie. You want it warm and gooey, not completely liquid. The cooking time might vary slightly depending on the size of your Brie wheel and your oven.
Uniform Veggie Size: Cutting the bell peppers and tomatoes into similar, small, bite-sized pieces ensures they cook evenly and are easy to scoop with the melted Brie.
Spice Level: Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to your personal preference for heat.
Serve Immediately: Baked Brie is best enjoyed warm and gooey right out of the oven.
