Why This Recipe Works

This Baked Brie Cups recipe takes the concept of baked Brie and re-imagines it in the miniature as bite-size hors d’oeuvres. Rather than puff pastry, we used frozen phyllo pastry cups from the freezer section. We added currant jelly, small cubes of Brie, and smoked almonds to each cup.
