TINY BRIE, PROSCIUTTO & APRICOT TART BITES


I really love this appetizer which I found at internet from one of the blogger....mmm....I lost her blogger information but will share her recipe with you'll.

This appetizer has the taste of saltiness from the prociutto, sweetness from the apricot jam and the cheesiness from the brie. The combination is just perfect!!!



I brought those ready use pastry shells from the grocery store at the frozen aisle.


Things that you need for this appetizer as follows;

1 pack of ready use pastry shell ( about 15 pcs in a box )
1 whole Brie ( I used Ile De France Brie ), cut into 1/2" cube
Thinny slice of fresh prociutto
Apricot jam or anything of your favorite that is sweet
Fresh Thyme for garnishing


METHOD :

1. Preheat oven at 350 F and bake the shells at baking sheet for about 8 minutes until crispy.

2. Place 1/2" cube of Brie in each shell. Return to oven for a few moments, allowing the cheese to melt.

3. Remove from oven, add 1/4 tsp of apricot jam on top of the melted cheese.

4. Form small, thin sliced of prociutto into rose shapes and placing atop of the fruits spread.

5. Garnish with small sprig of fresh thyme.

6. Serve warm and enjoy!!!
