Blueberry Brie Phyllo Bites
Description
These Blueberry Brie Phyllo Bites are assembled by placing chunks of creamy Brie cheese into delicate phyllo shells, then topping each with a mixture of blueberries, fresh thyme, and maple syrup. When baked at 350°F for 14 to 16 minutes, the Brie melts smoothly inside the crisp phyllo, while the sweet blueberry topping softens slightly. The thyme adds a subtle herbaceous note that complements the cheese and fruit. This bite-sized treat works well as an appetizer or finger food, with the contrast of textures between the crunchy shell, gooey cheese, and juicy berries.
The recipe allows for some make-ahead convenience: the phyllo shells can be filled and refrigerated until ready to bake. The components can also be varied according to taste, as the phyllo and Brie serve as a neutral base for different toppings. After baking, spooning any leftover blueberry mixture on top enhances presentation and flavor. These bites lend themselves to entertaining by being simple to prepare but offering a combination of creamy, sweet, and herbal flavors in one small package.
Ingredients
- 1 box phyllo shells (15 shells)
- 4 ounces Brie cheese rind removed
- 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
- ½ teaspoon thyme chopped fresh
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Arrange phyllo shells on a baking sheet. Cut the Brie into small pieces (about ½-inch). Mix the blueberries, thyme, and maple syrup together in a bowl.
- Place a piece of cheese in each phyllo shell, pushing it down to fit in the shell. Top with a small spoonful of the blueberry mixture.
- Bake in the oven 14-16 minutes, until blueberries start to soften and Brie is melted. Remove from oven. Spoon any remaining blueberries on top and serve.
Notes
- You can assemble the phyllo bites ahead and refrigerate them, then bake just before serving to save time.
- Phyllo shells and Brie make a versatile base; try different fruit or herb toppings for variation.
- After baking, spoon remaining blueberry mixture over the bites for extra flavor and presentation.
