Baked Brie Bites with Figs and Prosciutto
Baked Brie Bites feature small phyllo shells filled with creamy Brie cheese, fig jam, and garnished with crisp prosciutto and fresh figs. The combination provides contrasting textures: flaky phyllo, smooth melted Brie, salty prosciutto, and sweet fig. Baking melts and softens the cheese and crisps the prosciutto, while fresh fig pieces add a cool fruity note on top, offering a balanced bite-sized appetizer.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Brie cheese
- 2 ounces prosciutto di Parma
- 24 phyllo shells , defrosted
- 4 tablespoons fig jam , divided
- 3 large figs fresh
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F with rack in middle position. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Cut rind from Brie and discard. Cut Brie into 24, 3/4-inch cubes. Stack prosciutto slices, roll, and slice into 1/4-inch thick ribbons.
- Place phyllo shells on prepared baking sheet. Fill each shell with 1/2 teaspoon fig jam, spreading gently. Add one Brie cube to each shell and top with a few pieces of cut prosciutto.
- Bake 8-10 minutes, until cheese is melted and prosciutto is crisp.
- While the shells are baking, cut each fig into 8 pieces (cut fig in half, and then cut each half in half lengthwise and crosswise, creating 4 pieces per half).
- Remove phyllo cups from the oven and top with a piece of fresh fig. Serve warm.
Notes
- Ready-to-fill phyllo shells can be found in most grocery freezer sections near pie crusts and puff pastry.
- If fresh figs are unavailable, substitute with dried figs soaked in boiling water, then drained and cut.
- Assemble Brie Bites fully ahead and refrigerate covered for up to one day before baking and serving.
