Mini Brie Bites
These Mini Brie Bites are an easy appetizer perfect for entertaining, and they’re made with only 3 ingredients.
I hesitated to share these Mini Brie Bites because they’re soooo simple. So easy it’s almost like cheating. It’s also soooo yummy and perfect for a quick last minute appetizer. And with all the parties and get-togethers coming up during the holidays, anything quick and easy is good by me.
I’ve seen some different variations this using puff pastry or other pastry dough in muffin pans which looks yum, but if you’re in a hurry, this is a good go to. Basically you use the pre-made fillo (phyllo) mini-shells, brie and your favorite preserve (these were made with apricot). Put a small piece of brie (about 1/2″cube) in the mini-shell, top it with the preserves, pop ’em in a 350° oven for 7 minutes and they’re done. That’s it. That’s all.
Enjoy!
If you have any breezy appetizers or holiday foods to share, please do! (I’ll go get my notepad.)
- 1 package 15 mini fillo (phyllo) shells
- 4-6 oz. brie cheese (casing removed; to make removing the casing easier, put brie in freezer for a few minutes, it will also make it easier to cut the brie into cubes)
- jar of favorite preserves (apricot is shown, but any would do, you could also use apple butter or cranberry sauce)
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Place mini shells on a baking sheet.
- Cut brie into ½? cubes and put one in each mini shell.
- Top each brie filled mini shell with a little of the preserve (almost ½ teaspoon).
- Bake in 350°F oven for 7 minutes or until brie has melted. Be careful to keep an eye on it so shells don’t burn.

Ohmigosh I NEED to try this. I love brie so much. Never had it in this bite size form. Yum.
I don’t even like cheese but I may have to try these. Looks crisp and yummy!!
Umm…holy yum!
I wander whether I can used wantan wrapper double layer for the shells.
Thanks
That may work. It’s worth a try. ~ Amy
Brie is my favorite cheese and I love apricot jam….this is going on one of my snack platters pretty soon!!!
I do this! Only I use the Pillsbury crescent rolls. You just press together the seams and then cut into squares and press into a mini muffin tin.
They are a hit every time.
Awesome! These will be a hit @ my holiday cocktail party. Thanks for sharing!
I LOVE how simple and adorable these are – absolutely perfect for holiday entertaining!
oh I LOVE this idea Amy!!! you know I like simple!!
OMG YUM!! why haven’t i thought of this!! have already finished my christmas grocery shopping but making a special trip to the store just for these ingredients!! definitely having this as an appy on christmas day!! mouth is watering…………
These are beautiful and we were just discussing a good way to serve brie. Perfect!
I make these but i use a pinch of brown sugar, honey and chopped pecans on tip of the brie…SUPER delish!!
Hello there, just became aware of your blog through Google, and found that it’s really informative. I’m going to watch out for brussels. I’ll appreciate if you continue this in future. Numerous people will be benefited from your writing. Cheers!
Can I make these ahead of time??
Joellyn,
You could prep them ahead of time, refrigerate covered, and then pop them in the oven. That should work.
Can I make these Mini Brie Bites ahead of time?
I’ve made these many times, I put the brie cubes and some chopped dried apricots into the food processor and chop them together using the pulse button. Scoop a spoonful into the cups top with jam and bake! Always a big hit!
I made your recipe for Candied Almonds this morning. They were easy to make and delicious. The only problem is they all stuck together. Did you have this problem?
Hello Candace,
If they stick together, once cooled, break them apart. They may need to be broken apart after sitting for a time, since they are coated in the yummy gooey sweetness.
I did break them and took them to a dinner party yesterday. I used cup cake liners and put bunch in each one for indiviual servings. They were a big hit!
I was wondering how long you heated the honey mixture on the stove. I thought maybe I cooked it too long.
I have made these with the addition of a couple of white chocolate chips. Yumm!
Going to try apricot jam. I made similar with homemade cranberry sauce. Delicious!
Brie and cranberries are perfect together!

Would these be good served at room temp once baked and cooled?
I would only leave it at room temperature for an hour or so, then refrigerate it.
I have made these with the brie and hot pepper jelly and topped with a few chopped nuts….the combinations are endless….Always a bit hit
These are delicious made with Alouette creamy brie spread and a lot easier!
Made this for a holiday party and use three different color jams. It was very pretty and absolutely delicious.
That does sound pretty, Donna. What a great idea!
