Appetizer Recipes
Brie Kisses
Brie kisses are as light and airy as a kiss, with a dab of pepper jelly in each bite. This is a good make-ahead appetizer.
Yield: 32
Ingredients
- 1/2 to 2/3 pound Brie cheese (wedges are fine)
- 1 (17.3 ounce) box frozen puff pastry
- Hot pepper jelly
Instructions
- Cut the Brie into 1/2 inch squares (leave the rind on if you like). Place on a dinner plate and put the cheese in the freezer while you thaw the puff pastry for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Unfold the thawed pastry, press together seams and roll lightly with a rolling pin to smooth it out. Cut each sheet into fourths, then cut each fourth in half. Cut the halves in half to make 16 squares per sheet.
- Lightly spray a mini muffin pan with nonstick spray. Fit a piece of dough into each cup, pushing into the cup but leaving the edges sticking up. Place a dab of pepper jelly in each cup, then top with a piece of cheese.
- Bake at 400 degrees F for 10 to 15 minutes until golden.
- Serve warm.
Notes
Can be prepared ahead and refrigerated until ready to bake, or you can bake them and re-warm about 10 minutes at 350 degrees F before serving.
