One-Bite Baked Brie with Grape-Pecan Compote

By kathya5084

This is a Food Network Kitchen recipe.
Most of it can be prepared the day before.. Next time I might use Camembert or Gruyère might be interesting!

Ingredients

• 2 cups small red grapes
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup pecans
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• Kosher salt
• 1 8-ounce wheel Brie
• 2 1.9-ounce packages mini phyllo shells (about 30)
• Coarsely ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the grapes with the oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, tossing once, until the grapes burst and are very soft, 25 to 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, spread the pecans out on a second rimmed baking sheet, and bake until very golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool, then finely chop.
Transfer the grapes to a small shallow bowl with a slotted spoon, leaving the oil behind. Stir in the lemon juice and zest and a pinch of salt; set aside to cool completely, then stir in the toasted pecans. (The compote can be made up to a day ahead and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
Cut off just the very edges of the Brie wheel to make a rough square (it is OK if some rind remains at the corners), then cut into 30 cubes. Put a cube in each phyllo cup, and put the cups on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the cheese is melted, 5 to 7 minutes.
Top each cup with some of the compote, and garnish with a dusting of pepper. Serve warm.
