Apricot Brie Bites
Description
This recipe uses thawed puff pastry cut into small squares that are pressed into a greased mini muffin tin. Each pastry cup is filled with a piece of Brie cheese, which has had its rind removed for smooth melting. A teaspoon of apricot preserves tops the cheese, adding sweetness that complements the rich, creamy Brie. Baking at 350º F for 10-13 minutes results in golden, flaky pastry with melted cheese inside and a slightly caramelized fruit topping.
The Apricot Brie Bites serve well as finger foods for gatherings or light snacks. The puff pastry provides a crisp exterior texture paired with the tender, creamy cheese and bright preserves. They are best served warm to enjoy the melty cheese and fresh pastry contrast.
