Wonderful and super easy little nibbles; I used red pepper jelly and it really made the flavour POP. I cut off most of the rind as well. Made for Family Picks ZWT5.

    Made these as a Christmas Day nibble and they were a huge hit. I agree with Bergy regarding cutting the rindy layer off the brie....just made it more appealing to me. I used hot cherry pepper jelly and it was an absolutely delicious appetizer. Thanks for a definite keeper that I will use over and over again. By the way, our mini tart shells come in pkg's of 18 and I had plenty of cheese in the size recommended in the recipe to fill all 18 shells.

    So simple and so elegant! I made these for nibbles to go with aperitifs the other night - my pre-baked tart shells were bigger than stated, but I just increased the filling! I used my own confit d'ognion with added red peppers - it was a magical combination! Thanks Sage for this easy and very tasty recipe - FT

    So easy and so tasty!I cut off the top & bottom outer layer of the cheese. I find, depending on the brand, that the outside can be bitter. Also I reccommend that you use unsweetened tart shells. I used yellow Habanero jelly and it was quite pretty on the cheese.. Thanks Sage for a lovely Appetizer - I will use this one over & over again .21 Dec 08 I love these appies however when I opened my brie cheese it was - GONE- I mean really bad and I only bought it a week ago - Can't remember which store I bought it from so Boo Hoo - Happy birds they can now feast on it. SOoo what to do - it is 2:30 appie due at three - I opened a Bluecheese/Cranberry cheese and used that - It was not as good as Brie or camenbert but it was OK - Recipe great local grocery not great!
