  • Yield: 12 phyllo cups
  • Diet: Plant-Based

Description

Easy Brie Phyllo Cups with Blackberry and Thyme feature creamy plant-based brie cheese nestled in flaky, crisp phyllo shells, topped with juicy blackberries and fresh thyme. This elegant yet simple appetizer offers a perfect balance of creamy, sweet, and herbal flavors, ideal for entertaining or a cozy night in.

Ingredients

Phyllo Cups

  • Phyllo dough sheets, 8-12 sheets
  • Olive oil (natural), for brushing

Filling and Topping

  • Brie cheese (plant-based), about 8 ounces, cut into small chunks or slices
  • Fresh blackberries, 2-3 berries per cup
  • Fresh thyme leaves, a few sprigs
  • Honey (natural), for drizzling
  • Lemon zest (natural), from 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Phyllo Cups: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Carefully unroll the phyllo dough, covering it with a damp towel to keep it from drying out. Take one sheet at a time and brush lightly with olive oil (natural). Layer 3-4 sheets in small muffin tin cups, brushing olive oil between each layer to create crisp, golden shells.
  2. Add the Brie Cheese: Cut the plant-based brie into bite-sized chunks or slices. Gently place a portion into each prepared phyllo cup, allowing the cheese to settle inside the shell and melt slightly during baking.
  3. Top with Blackberries and Thyme: Place 2-3 fresh blackberries on top of the brie in each cup. Scatter fresh thyme leaves over the berries to add a fragrant herbal note that balances the sweetness and creaminess.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crisp, and the plant-based brie is soft and slightly melted.
  5. Add Final Touches: Remove the phyllo cups from the oven. Zest fresh lemon over each cup and drizzle a small amount of natural honey on top to brighten the flavors and add a lovely finishing touch.

Notes

  • Keep unused phyllo dough covered with a damp towel to prevent drying and cracking.
  • Brush olive oil generously between phyllo layers for a golden, crispy texture.
  • Portion plant-based brie evenly for consistent flavor and melting.
  • Use the freshest blackberries and thyme for best flavor and aroma.
  • Watch closely during baking to avoid burning the delicate phyllo layers.
