Baked Brie Bites Recipe

Introduction

Baked Brie Bites are delightful, bite-sized appetizers perfect for any gathering. Combining creamy brie, sweet jam, and crispy pastry, they offer a delicious balance of flavors and textures in every mouthful.

Ingredients

• 1 package phyllo shells (or puff pastry rounds)
• 8 ounces brie, cubed
• ½ cup fig jam (or any flavor you’d like)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven according to the package directions—350°F for mini phyllo cups or 400-425°F for puff pastry rounds.
2. Step 2: Slice the brie into small cubes to fit inside the shells.
3. Step 3: Fill each pastry shell with a spoonful of jam and a cube of brie. You can also add sliced fruit or nuts if desired.
4. Step 4: Bake for 8-10 minutes if using mini phyllo shells, or about 20 minutes for puff pastry rounds, until the brie is melted and the pastry is golden.

Tips & Variations

• Try substituting fig jam with apricot or raspberry jam for a different flavor twist.
• For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts on top before baking.
• If you prefer, add a small slice of fresh fruit such as apple or pear along with the brie and jam.

Storage

Store any leftover baked brie bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in a 350°F oven for about 5 minutes to restore crispness before serving.

FAQs

Can I prepare baked brie bites ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble them in advance and refrigerate for a few hours before baking. Bake just before serving to maintain freshness and crispness.

What type of brie should I use?

Use a good-quality brie that is soft but not overly runny. Whole wheel brie works well when cut into cubes for easy portioning.
