Cherry, Brie & Pepper Jelly Bites with Macadamia Nuts

February 1, 2019 by Joseph Sciascia Leave a Comment

I’m not working this week and today was the perfect day for testing a recipe; it’s very cloudy and dark with a big winter storm coming tonight.  Stuck inside with lots of paperwork, well…I don’t want to do that, how boring is that.  I had the house to myself and listening to soft jazz and feeling good, so I got in the kitchen and pulled from the freezer, pantry and the fridge of what I had on hand and developed this tasty party bite. I love cherries and brie together and with the added kick of the pepper jelly…superb!  I did not have fresh cherries, it’s February and hard to find, I had frozen ones in the freezer and it worked.  This 2 bite appetizer is perfect for casual or formal soirees and goes so well with a glass of wine.

Almost ready for the oven, a friend of mine told me that they looked like candy!

This recipe is a quick appetizer that can be put together in 10 minutes and baked in another 10 to 15 and includes only 6 ingredients (one is a garnish).

I love the crunch of the rich Macadamia nuts, they shake hands very well with the cherries and the Brie…Hey, wait a minute, I think they’re having their own party!
