Sandi (bugalu) from the WhistleStop Cafe Blog fame chose brie cheese as this week's ingredient for small bites. I was very excited when I checked the small bites schedule and saw it was time for Brie. An appetizer that I had a long time ago (maybe in Paris) came to mind, and I decided to go with it, especially that I had all the ingredients in my fridge with the exception of the phyllo cups. I went to the store and got these and started assembling my recipe as follows.
Smoked Prosciutto, Brie and Pineapple Jelly Cups
A package of mini phyllp cups
Brie cheese, cubed
Pineapple Jam( I actually wanted fig jam, but found none at the neighborhood grocery store and didn't want go hunt for some).
Smoked prosciutto or just regular prosciutto
Preheat your oven to 350F. Line your phyllo cups on a baking sheet, and bake for five to seven minutes. Remove from oven, add a cube of brie to each cup and return to oven for another three or four minutes until the cheese has melted and the cups are crispy. Add a spoon of pineapple jam to top the brie, then roll a piece of smoked prosciutto and add to the top. Serve warm. This treat is crispy, sweet, salty and gooey delicious!
Happy Sunday all!

Candi, I use fig a lot, so the idea of something different, like pineapple really appeals to me. Such a great easy idea. Thanks!
