These little treats are bite-sized appetizers that are perfect for the holiday season, entertaining, parties or anytime, easy to make and taste delicious. I had these for the first time at a holiday party and was I surprised by how good they were, and they only require five ingredients - phyllo shell cups, brie cheese, honey, nuts, and brown sugar.
You can change the recipe for these by using different nuts, and I've also seen several recipes with using figs, dates or jams, such as apricot or raspberry, or even using pepper jelly. The first time I had these they were made with chopped pecans, which I do like, but most of my family prefer almonds, so that is what I used for my recipe. Give these Baked Brie Cups a try for a snack, appetizer or for your next gathering. They are so good that they're additive, and they will disappear quickly!
Baked Brie Cups
Ingredients:
- 1 package of mini phyllo shell cups (1 pkg=approx 15 shells)
- Brie cheese - appox 4oz. cut into small cubes
- honey
- pecans, walnuts or almonds chopped or sliced
- brown sugar
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Place a cube of brie in each phyllo cup, top with a drizzle of honey and a few nuts. Sprinkle with a pinch of brown sugar. It's best to not over fill the cups. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the brie is melted. Serve immediately. Use more or less of the ingredients per your preference.
Enjoy!...
