Brie Phyllo Tarts with Jam – The Perfect Bite-Sized Appetizer
I made these Brie Phyllo Tarts on a whim one holiday when I needed something quick but still felt like putting in a little effort. I had a box of phyllo cups in the freezer, half a wheel of brie in the fridge, and some apricot jam I had been meaning to use up.
Twenty minutes later, I had a tray of warm, flaky, cheesy little bites that somehow felt way fancier than what I actually did. Now I make them anytime I need a no-stress appetizer that people always go for.
There’s something about the warm brie and sweet jam in a crisp phyllo shell that just works – rich, melty, and just the right size for grabbing off a party tray.
With just three ingredients, these bite-sized brie phyllo tarts are easy to make, and perfect for holiday parties, gatherings, or whenever you need a quick appetizer that looks great on the table.
How to Make Brie Phyllo Tarts
Here are the ingredients you need to make these brie phyllo tarts, plus step by step instructions for how to make them.
Ingredients
- 15 phyllo cups
- 4 oz brie cheese (half a brie wheel)
- ¼ cup apricot jam
Step by Step Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. The phyllo cups can get a little sticky from the melted cheese and jam, so this step helps a lot.
2. Slice the brie into small, bite-sized cubes (about ½ inch or so). You don’t need to remove the rind unless you want to; it softens in the oven and adds a bit of texture.
3. Arrange the phyllo cups on the baking sheet. No need to thaw them if they’re frozen – they’ll crisp up nicely in the oven as-is.
4. Place one cube of brie into each phyllo cup. Then, using a small spoon, add a dollop of apricot jam on top of the cheese. Don’t overfill – just a little jam goes a long way once it melts.
5. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the brie is melted and the edges of the phyllo cups are golden and crisp.
6. Let them cool for a minute or two (the filling will be hot), then serve warm. These are best enjoyed fresh from the oven, while the cheese is gooey and the phyllo is still perfectly crisp.
These brie phyllo tarts come together fast and disappear even faster. They’re the kind of appetizer people hover around until the last one is gone. You can swap the apricot jam for whatever you have – fig, raspberry, or even a little cranberry sauce. They bake up quick, look great on a platter, and you don’t need to overthink them. Just bake, serve, and enjoy.
