Baked Brie Bites
If there was one appetizer I could live on for the rest of my life, it would be these Baked Brie Bites!
- EASY – If you’re in a pinch or have friends “dropping by” then this is your easy appetizer recipe to make! These little decadent bites couldn’t be more delicious plus they are a breeze to pull together.
- DELISH – Phyllo cups are filled with melty brie cheese and topped with fig jam and crispy prosciutto. Heavenly, y’all!
- VERSATILE – Swap the fig jam for any number of delicious toppings like raspberry preserves, cranberry sauce, pepper jelly… see more ideas below!
I first became a brie lover in college when a suite-mate of mine made brie bites with crescent roll dough, also delicious!
Handy tip: Prepare Ahead!
I find the phyllo cups in our grocery store’s freezer beside the phyllo dough and puff pastry. You could make your own, but buying them pre-made into cups is one less thing to do when you’re hosting a party!
For ease, I like to keep phyllo cups in my freezer and use them for these baked brie bites. I love the textures from crunchy to creamy and of course – the flavor is incredible.
You can buy store-bought fig jam or make my family’s favorite fig jam recipe here! It’s my grandfather’s recipe that’s been passed down to me, and I love it!
The crispy prosciutto balances out the sweetness of the fig jam and the buttery brie. You could also swap in bacon as well. That salty/sweet combo is absolute perfection.
I think this appetizer is a winner among the sweet crowd, salty lovers, guys, girls, everyone! You know it’ll be a hit! Easy appetizers are my game!
You can eat the rind on brie, but since you just get a tiny bit of brie in each bite, I cut the rind off.
Some tips for preparing for Baked Brie Bites
- Cut up the brie in little cubes
- Add one brie cube to each phyllo cup.
- After that, you simply bake until melty (about 5 minutes) and then add the toppings!
- I love fig jam and the crispy prosciutto, but I’ve also listed out some other ideas below!

During the holidays, I love to make these with cranberry sauce! Here’s a similar recipe for a larger baked brie wheel (rather than miniature bites though you could easily recreate in these phyllo cups):
I hope you’re inspired to recreate these baked brie bites or create a combination you’ll love the next time you’re on the hunt for an easy appetizer for a party!
Speaking of phyllo cup appetizers, try out these sausage phyllo cups and goat cheese phyllo cups too!
