Baked Brie and Sun-Dried Tomato Dip

Large Brie from Costco
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (in oil), chopped
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
2 heaping tsp dried thyme
Fresh cracked pepper
Baguette, flat bread or crackers

Heat oven to 325 degrees.  Remove rind from brie and cube.  Combine tomatoes, garlic, thyme and pepper.  In baking dish, layer bottom with 1/3 of tomato mixture, then add 1/2 of brie.  Continue layering, ending with tomato mixture.  Allow layering to reach top of dish since it will melt down some.  Bake 30 minutes, stirring once half way through.  Serve warm.  (I skimmed off some of the oil on top before serving).
