Easy Bacon Jam and Brie Phyllo Cups
These phyllo cups are stuffed with gooey brie, sweet-and-savory bacon jam, and a sprinkle of fresh thyme for a flavorful, unexpected hors d'oeuvre. All you need is 20 minutes and a few ingredients for an appetizer that is always a crowd-pleaser. Seriously, make a double batch cause you're going to need extras!
Ingredients
- 2 1.9-ounce boxes of pre-made phyllo shells (110 grams/30 shells)
- 2/3 cup bacon jam (200 grams)
- 8 ounces brie cheese sliced into 1/2-inch cubes (225 grams)
- Chopped fresh thyme for garnish
- Red pepper flakes to taste - optional
Equipment
- Large sheet pan
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Carefully unwrap the shells and line them on the prepared sheet pan.
- Add about 1 teaspoon of bacon jam and 1 brie cube to each shell. Bake for 5-6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the jam is hot.
- Use a spatula to transfer the cups to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh thyme and red pepper flakes, if using. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Look for phyllo shells in the freezer aisle next to the puff pastry and frozen pie crusts.
You don't want to overfill or overbake these cups, or the cheese will melt out everywhere. Leave a little space at the top of each shell, and take them out of the oven just as the cheese is melting.
These are best right away, because the shells will get soggy if they sit too long.
Feel free to swap the bacon jam with red pepper jelly, fig jam, caramelized onion jam, or any of your favorites!
You can also swap the garnishes. Try rosemary, a sprinkle of toasted pecans, etc.
