Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) wedge Brie cheese rind removed, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
15 frozen phyllo tart cups
1/2 cup apricot preserves
1/2 cup pecans chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° F.
Place phyllo cups onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Gently squish a piece of Brie between two fingers as it will make it fit into the tart better. Place Brie pieces in each cup and top with 1/2 teaspoon apricot preserves.
Bake tarts for 7 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Garnish with chopped pecans and serve warm.

Notes

Recipe Tips.

Remove the Brie rind so the cheese melts more smoothly in the tart cups.
Squish each Brie piece slightly so it fits neatly inside the phyllo shell.
Use about 1/2 teaspoon apricot preserves per tart so the filling does not overflow.
Bake just until the Brie is melted and the phyllo cups are warm and crisp.
Make-ahead tip: cut the Brie and chop the pecans ahead of time, then assemble and bake the tarts right before serving.

Store. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Warm in the oven at 300°F until the cheese softens and the shells crisp back up. These are best served warm right after baking.
