Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove edible rind from Brie cheese, if desired, using a vegetable peeler. Cube cheese; set aside.

In a medium bowl combine tomatoes, ham, Brie, oil, garlic, and oregano. Toss to combine. Spoon into hollowed bread half. Sprinkle with finely shredded cheese. Bake about 15 minutes or until heated through. Drizzle with vinegar. To serve, cut crosswise into 4 portions. Makes 4 servings.
