Brie Bites

Tuesday, December 18, 2007

Hubby and I were going to a wine and cheese party. I wanted to bring an appetizer that fit the theme. I just kind of threw these together and they were quite tasty!

Brie Bites (by ME!)
60 pre-made phyllo cups (4 packages)
15 oz Brie wheel – or spreadable Brie – see note below
topping choices:
Brown sugar
Dried cranberries
Toasted almonds
Fruit preserves

Cut the white casing off the Brie. I like to freeze the Brie for about 20 minutes to make this task easier. Cut Brie into 60 pieces (about 1-inch squares). NOTE: I made these more recently (11/29/08) and used the spreadable Brie that you can find right next to the regular Brie. It has no rind, so you can just scoop it into the cups. This was SO MUCH easier than cutting off the rind. It also melted a lot better and had a better texture because of it. I highly recommend doing it this way.

Put one piece of Brie into each phyllo cup. Bake for about 7 minutes at 350.

Top with either 1 tsp of fruit preserves or 1/2 tsp brown sugar and a couple almonds and a couple dried cranberries. Cook again for a few minutes to melt the preserves/sugar.

I couldn’t find any cinnamon chips in my area when I wanted to make this so I ended up using vanilla chips instead. I had to make a second batch immediately since the first batch didn’t make it around the room for people before it was completely gone. I just added a bit more cinnamon to make up for the lack of cinnamon chips.

  Cinnamon chips can be difficult to find. When I find some, I usually buy a couple bags. You can order them online or Hershey has a product finder so you can find a store near you that sells them: http://www.thehersheycompany.com/contact-us/locate-hard-to-find-products.aspx
