How to Make Brie Fig Appetizers
Step 1: Prep Your Oven and Shells
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Carefully arrange the mini phyllo shells in a single layer on a baking sheet. This helps them cook evenly.
Step 2: Fill and Bake the Phyllo Cups
Place one small piece of brie cheese into each phyllo shell. Spoon about a teaspoon of fig jam over the brie in each cup. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the brie is melted and bubbly. Garnish with a tiny piece of fresh rosemary if you like before serving.
