Description
Delightful mini phyllo cups filled with Brie cheese, topped with pecans and cranberry drizzle.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 mini phyllo cups
- 120g (4.2 oz) Brie, cut into chunks
- 1/4 cup (30g) toasted pecans, chopped
- 1 tsp (5ml) honey
- 1/4 cup (60g) cranberry sauce
- Fresh thyme leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C), preparing it for the delightful transformation of simple ingredients into a gourmet treat.
- Take your mini phyllo cups and carefully position them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This ensures effortless serving and helps with easy cleanup afterward.
- Place a chunk of Brie cheese into each phyllo cup, allowing it to fill just adequately without overflowing. The creamy texture of the Brie is essential to the overall flavor profile.
- Next, sprinkle the chopped, toasted pecans on top of the Brie. Their crunch adds an exciting contrast to the smoothness of the cheese.
- Slide the baking sheet into the oven. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the Brie is beautifully melted and slightly bubbly. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning, as phyllo cups can brown quickly.
- While the cups are baking, take a small bowl and warm the cranberry sauce along with the honey until the mixture is smooth. This sauce will provide a delightful drizzle that enhances the flavors of the appetizer.
- Once the phyllo cups are out of the oven, drizzle the warmed cranberry mixture over each one. Finish by garnishing with fresh thyme leaves for a burst of color and freshness.
Notes
Check the phyllo cups regularly while baking to ensure they don’t become too dark. You can prepare the cups and sauce in advance, making it easy to serve when guests arrive.
