Salted Pecan Brie Tartlets with Honey Drizzle

A fun and easy appetizer recipe made with mini phyllo cups filled with creamy brie, toasty pecans and sea salt drizzled with honey.

Look at any proper cheese board and you’ll find four things:

• Cheese (obviously)
• Something salty (like nuts or cured meat)
• Something sweet (like fruit or honey)
• And a vehicle for getting the cheese and accompaniments into your mouth (like crackers or dried bread sticks)

You’ll find all of these things because they create the perfect culinary storm: creamy, crunchy, sweet and salty.

I almost always set out some sort of cheese board when we’re having folks over. My favorites to include are a variety of cheeses (again, obviously), grapes, a dish of honey, smokehouse almonds, prosciutto and crackers.

If you’re wondering about the honey, try a nub of blue cheese on a cracker with a drizzle of honey on it and you’ll be sold! My mouth's watering just thinking about it!
