Ingredients

  • 1 package mini phyllo shells (recommended: Athens Brand)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 shallot, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely diced
  • 4 ounces mixed oyster mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and sliced
  • Salt and fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup Merlot (recommended: BV Coastal Merlot)
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/4 pound Brie
  • 4 chives, sliced for garnish

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the shells according to the package directions. Let cool while you make the filling.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter. When the butter is melted, add the shallots and garlic, and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper, to taste. When the mushrooms have released their liquid, add the wine and thyme and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.

Cut the Brie into 15 small pieces. Divide the mushroom mixture among the phyllo shells. Top each with a piece of the cheese. Return the shells to the oven and bake until the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes. Transfer the bites to a serving platter. Garnish with chives and serve warm.

    This is a very easy dish to make, but I found the flavors a little bland. I decided to add something sweet to it to help cut the richness of the butter and brie. I used diced apple lightly sauteed in a little butter with a splash of apple cider vinegar. I sweetened the apples with a little sugar. Then I added a couple of the apple pieces to the bottom of the cup, then topped with the mushrooms and brie. I thought this really brightened up the flavors of everything and helped with a cleaner finish.

    I loved it, I just added a silver of roasted sundried tomato to the top for color and an extra punch!

    These are great! So easy too. I left my rind on the brie because that's what it looked like Sandra Lee did on the episode. Everyone loved them.
