Ingredients
- 1 package phyllo shells (or puff pastry rounds)
- 8 ounces brie, cubed
- ½ cup fig jam (or any flavor you’d like)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven according to the package directions—typically 350°F for mini phyllo cups or 400-425°F for puff pastry rounds.
- Prep Brie: Slice and cube the brie into bite-sized pieces to ensure even melting and easy serving.
- Fill Shells: Carefully fill each phyllo shell or puff pastry round with the brie cubes, then add a spoonful of fig jam or your preferred jam or fruit topping.
- Bake: Place the filled shells on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven. Bake mini phyllo cups for 8-10 minutes or puff pastry rounds for about 20 minutes until the cheese melts and the pastry is golden and crisp.
Notes
- You can substitute fig jam with any other fruit preserves like apricot or raspberry for a different flavor.
- For a crunchy texture, add chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans on top before baking.
- Serve warm for the best gooey texture and flavor experience.
- If using puff pastry, make sure the rounds are properly thawed before filling and baking.
