Easy Brie Phyllo Bites Appetizer
These Brie Phyllo Bites join my turkey brie grilled cheese and brie naan pizza where buttery, melted brie cheese shines and makes me weak in the knees.
Made with just six ingredients, including jam and brie cheese, they’re an incredibly tasty appetizer with a sweet, creamy filling, topped with crunchy nuts, in a light crisp shell. The mini phyllo shells make them super easy to make, too – no fighting with sheets of phyllo dough drying out or tearing.
