I find it impossible to attend a party without bringing a dish to share. I know that I appreciate it as a hostess when guests offer to bring something, so I try to do the same for others. That being said, I don’t always have a whole lot of time in which to prepare food to bring. So more often than not I offer to bring an appetizer, because there are so many simple recipes out there that taste delicious (see my 5 Easy Appetizers post).
Lately I’ve been on a baked Brie kick for my appetizer making. And this Brie recipe I’ve been making is probably one of the most easy appetizers I’ve ever made. I don’t even know if it qualifies as an actual recipe because it’s three ingredients and takes just about a minute to put together. The end result is scrumptious, and always gets lots of praise. So if you have a party to go to and need a quick last minute appetizer stop by the grocery, pick up what you need and in no time at all you’ll have a hit on your hands.
Baked Brie with Fig Spread & Pecans ::
Ingredients:
Brie Cheese
Fig Spread (I found mind near the fabulous cheese section of my grocery)
Pecan pieces
Directions:
Place Brie in an oven-safe dish, spread a little bit of Fig Spread over top of it and then sprinkle on pecan pieces. Bake at 350º for 15-20 minutes. Keep a close eye on it as it bakes, when the brie starts oozing a bit then it’s ready to come out of the oven! I serve the baked brie with baguette slices that I’ve toasted (if I have time to do this) or if I’m in a rush then I serve it with crackers. Either way it is delicious. Serve warm.
