BAKED BRIE WITH GRAPES
Brie baked in puff pastry (Brie en croute) is a cocktail party classic. The cheese comes out warm, easily spreadable and delicious. To make this appetizer even more festive, stuff it with fresh grapes - in season from California through January. The result is simply luscious, not overly sweet, the grapes still juicy, savoury with fresh herbs and colourful to boot. If you can, substitute French brie with a brie-like cheese from a local producer. Either way, the dish is easy to prepare and the results dependable and gratifying.

ONE-BITE BAKED BRIE WITH GRAPE-PECAN COMPOTE
Baked Brie wrapped in phyllo is a perennial party favorite because of the perfect combination of gooey-good baked cheese and crisp, buttery pastry. We've taken it modern and mini, baking the Brie in individual phyllo cups (easier than working with sheets of phyllo) and adding a compote made with toasted pecans and red grapes roasted to intensify their flavor.

Steps:
- 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, about 5 minutes.
- Top each cup with some of the compote, and garnish with a dusting of pepper. Serve warm.

Tips:
- Choose a ripe brie. A ripe brie will have a soft, creamy texture and a slightly runny interior. Avoid bries that are too hard or too soft, as they will not bake well.
- Use a good quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this recipe, as it has a rich flavor and aroma. You can also use a lighter olive oil, such as regular or pure olive oil, if you prefer.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish. Make sure there is enough space around the brie so that it can bake evenly. If the dish is too crowded, the brie will not cook properly.
- Bake the brie until it is golden brown and bubbly. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes, but may vary depending on the size of the brie and your oven.
- Serve the brie immediately. Baked brie is best served warm and gooey. You can serve it with crackers, bread, or fruit.
Conclusion:
Baked brie with grapes is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with just a few simple ingredients and can be prepared in under 30 minutes. The brie is baked until it is golden brown and bubbly, and the grapes add a sweet and juicy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your guests!
