I have been on a brie kick lately and can’t stop making this Holiday Baked Brie. I thought it would be fun to make something more poppable and snack-able, which is why I created these cute little bites! They are really convenient for a crowd and are the perfect blend of sweet and savory. I just can’t get enough of the crispy prosciutto-thyme topping, creamy brie, and sweet fig jam—an incredible marriage of flavors! Add these to your appetizer list along with my Stuffed Mushrooms, this show-stopping Butter Board, and my Salami Antipasto Bites.
Ingredient Notes
(For the full recipe, scroll down to the recipe card below). Phyllo dough is an unleavened dough (made with flour, water, and oil). The dough is then carefully rolled very thin, and then pieces are stacked & layered with oil or butter to make Phyllo sheets. It’s a labor of love to make Phyllo sheets, so it’s very common to use pre-made sheets… or in this recipe, pre-made shells!
Prosciutto: Mmmm, gotta love the salty, savory goodness that is prosciutto! We’ll be baking it to crisp it up a bit before sprinkling on the bites. You’ll find prosciutto in the deli section of the grocery store. Athens Phyllo Shells: These little shells make the base of our Mini Brie Bites. You’ll want 2 packages of the shells (1.9 oz. per package) and can find them in the freezer aisle at the grocery store. Triple Creme Brie Cheese Wheel: Opt for a triple creme brie if you can because it is SO delicious. Place the brie in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to firm up making it easier to cut into the small cubes. Fig Jam: This brings the sweet taste to these Mini Brie Bites. Use whatever brand you prefer! Fresh Thyme: I personally think it’s worth it to use fresh thyme for these bites. But in a pinch, you could use dried!
