Need a super easy appetizer for your next holiday gathering? If so, you’ll definitely want to give these bite-sized phyllo cups a try. A slight hint of maple syrup enhances the flavours of warm, melted Brie and sweet dark cherries. These are absolutely delicious and pretty too!
For a more complex and savory flavour combination, add some fresh thyme leaves to each cup prior to baking.
