Warm, gooey brie mixed with sticky honey and crunchy pecans in a crispy phyllo cup. These quick and easy appetizers are perfect for fall gatherings and are sure to impress your guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15-count) package frozen phyllo pastry cups
  • 8 ounces brie cheese, chilled
  • 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1/4 cup honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Flaky sea salt, for finishing

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Position the rack in the center of the oven.
  2. Toast the pecans: Place the chopped pecans in a small skillet over medium heat. Stir constantly for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned. Transfer to a small bowl to cool.
  3. Prepare the phyllo cups: Arrange the frozen phyllo cups on a baking sheet, leaving space between each. Brush the edges lightly with melted butter.
  4. Cut the brie: While the brie is still cold, cut it into small cubes, about 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) each. Leave the rind on.
  5. Assemble the bites: Place one brie cube into each phyllo cup. In a small bowl, mix the toasted pecans, honey, and fresh thyme leaves together. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of this mixture on top of each brie cube.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, until the brie is soft and starting to bubble and the phyllo cups are golden brown.
  7. Finish with salt: Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt on each bite.
  8. Serve warm: Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately while the brie is still gooey.

Notes

Start with cold brie for clean cutting. Don’t overfill the phyllo cups to prevent sogginess. Serve immediately for best texture. Can prep components a day ahead: toast pecans, cut brie, mix honey topping, and store separately in the fridge.
