Instructions

  • Place Phyllo Shells/Cups on a Baking Sheet with a Silicone Baking Mat. Bake at 350°F for about 5 minutes to crisp. 
  • (Note: If you can’t find pre-made Phyllo Shells/Cup, you can make your own by spraying one sheet of Phyllo Dough with Non-stick Cooking Spray.  Fold in half.  Spray again.  Fold in half again.  Spray again.  Cut the long end of the folded Phyllo Dough in two equal pieces. Shape into mini-muffin cup, creating a homemade Phyllo Shell/Cup.  Bake at 350°F for about 5 minutes to crisp.)
  • While they’re baking, you can prep the Pistachios and Pomegranate. Start by placing Pistachios in a Ziploc bag and lightly tap them with a Wooden Spoon to crush them into smaller pieces.
  • Seed the Pomegranate (Note: Watch the Video of this recipe at tinykitchen.net for an easy technique on how to seed a Pomegranate)
  • After you remove the Shells/Cups from the oven, place a small amount (about 1/4 teaspoon) of Jam in each Phyllo Cup. (Note: if making your own shells, you might want to add a touch more as they will be bigger)
  • Place 1/4 – 1/2 ounce of Brie Cheese on top of the Jam. (Note: if making your own shells, you might want to add a touch more as they will be bigger)
  • Bake at 350°F for another 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Be sure to watch then to make sure that the Shells don’t burn.
  • Remove from oven and garnish with Crushed Pistachios, Pomegranate Seeds and a leaf of Fresh Mint.
  • Enjoy!
