🛒 Ingredients Needed:

✏️ How to make Hot Brie Kisses:
*The complete, printable recipe is in the recipe card at the end of this post.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Cut small pieces of brie and place them into frozen phyllo mini shells. Top with a small scoop of pepper jelly. Place them on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the shells are golden.
➡️ Tips and Substitutions:
- Hot pepper jelly isn’t very spicy at all, but if you prefer a different jam then I recommend seedless raspberry jam.
- Sometimes the mini phyllo shells are tough to locate. Call your local markets to see if they stock them. Whole Foods and other gourmet markets usually always carry mini phyllo shells. Regular markets often only carry them in stock during seasonal times (fall and winter).
- To create a festive platter for the holidays, place some fresh rosemary sprigs around the hot brie kisses on the platter.
- It’s easiest to cut brie cheese into chunks when it is chilled. It softens as it comes to room temperature.
✔️ Make Ahead Tip:
Fill the phyllo shells in their trays with the brie and pepper jelly, and then slide them back into the boxes. They can be placed back into the freezer until ready to bake! You can prep them up to 2 or 3 days ahead.
