Ingredients
Scale
Phyllo Cups
- 12 cups phyllo cups
Cheese
- 8 oz Brie cheese, cut into cubes
Topping
- 1 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary for garnish (basil or thyme can be substituted)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the phyllo cups.
- Arrange Phyllo Cups: Place the 12 phyllo cups evenly spaced on a baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
- Fill with Brie: Place a cube of Brie cheese inside each phyllo cup, ensuring it’s centered for even melting.
- Add Cranberry Sauce: Top each Brie-filled phyllo cup with a generous dollop of cranberry sauce for a burst of sweetness.
- Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the Brie is bubbly and the phyllo cups turn a golden brown color.
- Garnish: Remove from oven and immediately garnish each cup with a small sprig of fresh rosemary to enhance aroma and presentation.
- Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving warm as an elegant appetizer or party treat.
Notes
- You can substitute Brie with goat cheese for a tangier flavor.
- Homemade cranberry sauce offers a fresher taste but store-bought works well for convenience.
- Alternative herbs like basil or thyme can be used if rosemary is not available.
- Serve these phyllo cups warm for the best texture and flavor.
- Be careful not to overbake to avoid burning the delicate phyllo shells.
