Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 mini phyllo pastry shells
- 6 ounces brie cheese
- 4 ounces lump crab meat
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 stalk green onion
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Arrange the mini phyllo pastry shells on a baking sheet.
Cut the brie cheese into 12 small cubes, roughly ½-inch in size.
Place one cube of brie cheese inside each phyllo shell.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, finely chopped green onion, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Gently stir to combine without breaking up the crab meat too much.
Spoon about a teaspoon of the crab mixture over the brie cheese in each shell.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the brie is melted and the edges of the phyllo shells are golden and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and garnish with additional chopped green onion or a sprinkle of paprika, if desired.
