Print Recipe

These pomegranate brie bites combine tangy pomegranate seeds with creamy brie in crispy phyllo cups, finished with fragrant rosemary for an elegant and easy appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • About 24 store-bought mini phyllo shells
  • 8 oz (225g) brie cheese, rind removed and cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup fresh pomegranate arils
  • 12 small sprigs fresh rosemary, finely chopped plus a few whole sprigs for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons honey for drizzling
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for brushing phyllo cups (optional)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the mini phyllo cups in the cavities of your muffin tin to keep their shape.
  2. Brush each phyllo cup lightly with olive oil using a pastry brush (optional).
  3. Bake the phyllo cups in the oven for about 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and let cool slightly.
  4. Cut the rind off the brie and dice it into small cubes approximately ½ inch (1.3 cm).
  5. In a small bowl, combine the pomegranate arils with finely chopped rosemary and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
  6. Place a cube of brie into each cooled phyllo cup. Top generously with the pomegranate-rosemary mixture.
  7. Drizzle honey over each filled cup.
  8. Optional: Pop the assembled bites back into the oven for 3-4 minutes to slightly melt the brie.
  9. Garnish each bite with a tiny fresh rosemary sprig.

Notes

Let brie sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before assembling for better melting. Handle phyllo cups gently as they are fragile. Pre-bake phyllo cups empty to keep them crisp and avoid sogginess. You can prepare the pomegranate-rosemary mix a day ahead and store in the fridge. Reheat leftovers gently in a 300°F oven to maintain crispness.
