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.

Homemade bbq sauce sounds great! I’ve never attempted to make it at home but it doesn’t look too hard. Thanks for the recipe!

This sounds great and I will have to try it. I made BBQ chicken quesadillas for lunch and this would have been great to use for that. Next time I will use this recipe! Thanks for sharing.

I’ve made homemade BBQ sauce and bottled has nothing on homemade. It’s been a while and BBQ season is here. I’ll have to give your recipe a try.

How long does this last in the fridge?

Ashley – We store our BBQ sauce in the fridge and it has been fine for a few months. It never goes bad before we use it up.
