Phyllo Cups
- 1.9 oz box of phyllo shells (approximately 24 shells)
Cheese
- 8 oz Brie cheese, sliced into small pieces
Jelly
- 12.5 oz jar of apple jalapeno jelly (use about 1/4 of the jar)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for crisping the phyllo cups evenly.
- Prepare the Phyllo Cups: Arrange the phyllo shells on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow for easy cleanup.
- Add Brie Cheese: Slice the brie into small pieces and place one piece inside each phyllo cup, distributing them evenly.
- Add Apple Jalapeno Jelly: Spoon a generous dollop of apple jalapeno jelly over the cheese in each cup, adding a sweet and spicy contrast to the creamy brie.
- Bake: Bake the assembled phyllo cups in the preheated oven for 7 minutes, or until the cheese has softened and the phyllo shells are crispy and golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from oven carefully and serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- You can substitute apple jalapeno jelly with any flavor of pepper jelly to customize the flavor profile.
- Make sure not to overfill the phyllo cups to avoid spilling during baking.
- Brie can be replaced with other soft cheeses like Camembert or goat cheese for variation.
- Serve immediately after baking for optimal crispness and melted cheese texture.
