Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 ounces (85 grams) brie, rind removed and cubed
- 15 mini phyllo shells
- 15 fresh blackberries
Sauce and Sweeteners:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) blackberry jam
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) honey
Herbs and Garnish:
- 2–3 sprigs fresh thyme
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and carefully position phyllo shells on a clean baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
- Dollop a small portion of blackberry jam into each delicate phyllo shell, then add a gentle drizzle of honey.
- Nestle a precise cube of brie cheese atop the jam and honey mixture in each shell.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 6-8 minutes, watching for the brie to become luxuriously melted and the phyllo shells to turn a light golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and immediately garnish each cup with a fresh blackberry and a sprinkle of fragrant thyme leaves.
- For an extra touch of sweetness, lightly drizzle additional honey over the completed appetizers.
- Serve the warm brie phyllo cups immediately to ensure optimal texture and flavor, presenting them as an elegant and irresistible bite-sized treat.
Notes
- Opt for room temperature brie to ensure smooth, even melting without burning the delicate phyllo shells.
- Choose fresh blackberries at peak ripeness for the most vibrant flavor and beautiful presentation.
- Consider swapping honey with maple syrup for a different depth of sweetness that complements the creamy brie.
- Make these gluten-free by using gluten-free phyllo shells or replacing them with mini almond flour tartlets for those with dietary restrictions.
