Happy Hour

Indulge in our Brie & Raspberry Phyllo Purse, where creamy, rich Brie cheese meets the sweet-tart burst of ripe raspberries, all enveloped in a golden, flaky phyllo pastry. Each bite delivers a delightful contrast of textures and flavors, making it the perfect appetizer to share—or to savor all on your own. A sprinkle of powdered sugar adds a touch of elegance, inviting you to experience a little taste of luxury with every flaky morsel.

Preheat the Oven

In a bowl, combine the Brie cheese (cut into small pieces), fresh raspberries, honey, and thyme leaves. Mix gently to combine.

Prepare the Filling

Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush it lightly with melted butter. Layer another sheet on top and brush with more butter. Repeat this process until you have 3 layers.

Prepare Phyllo Dough

Place a generous spoonful of the Brie and raspberry mixture in the center of the phyllo stack. Gather the edges of the phyllo together to form a purse and twist to secure. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling.

Fill and Fold

Place the phyllo purses on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with melted butter. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.

Bake

Once baked, dust the purses with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh raspberries and mint leaves. Serve warm.
