Ingredients For Baked Brie and Jam Cups
- Phyllo cups: These pre-made cups are a lifesaver and can be found in the freezer section near the puff pastry.
- Brie cheese: Choose a good quality Brie. Remove the rind if you prefer a smoother texture.
- Jam or preserves: Use your favorite flavor. Apricot, raspberry, and fig jam work particularly well.
- Chopped or slivered almonds: These add a nice crunch. You can substitute with pecans or walnuts if you like.
How To Make Baked Brie Cups
It takes just minutes to make this yummy appetizer. Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. While that is warming, cut up your Brie into small cubes. Place one Brie cube into each phyllo cup.

Sprinkle chopped almonds on top of the jam. Bake the cups for about 10 minutes, or until the Brie is melted and the phyllo is golden and crispy.
When they come out of the oven minutes later, the cups are crunchy, the brie is gooey, and the jam is deliciously warm. It's a party for your mouth!
