Camembert Apricot Appetizer image

Who doesn't like melted cheese and phyllo pastry? This quick simple recipe is great for a busy hostess. The mix of sweet and smooth makes this a perfect combination. My mother gave me this recipe although I don't know who gave it to her. Takes less than 20 minutes to make but I promise it will take less than that to eat!

Time 20m

Yield 6-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 wheel camembert cheese (leave whole with white on)
1/2 cup apricot jam
4 sheets phyllo pastry
3 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Start by placing one sheet of phyllo on a baking sheet.
  • Brush a thin layer of melted butter on one side.
  • Add the next sheet on top of the butter.
  • Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have the appropriate amount of sheets 'glued' together.
  • Place the whole cheese on one side of the pastry leaving a 2 inch border.
  • Spoon your jam on top of the cheese (one side only).
  • Fold the pastry around the cheese remembering to keep the jam side up.
  • Tuck the ends under the cheese to create a tidy pocket.
  • Remember that if you can see the cheese, it can leak out.
  • Brush the jam side with melted butter.
  • Place in the center of the baking sheet JAM SIDE UP and bake approx 10-15 minutes.
  • Serve whole on a platter with plain crackers (I use Carr's table water crackers).
  • Add knife or spreader so everyone can help themselves.
  • Everyone loves this appetizer.
  • DO NOT PREPARE THIS AHEAD OF TIME (UNLESS IT IS JUST TO RE-HEAT IN THE OVEN).
