Brie and Caramelized Mushroom Mini Tarts

This brie and caramelized mushroom mini tarts recipe is the final appetizer I served at my appetizer dinner party for the Olympic Opening Ceremonies. These tasty little mushroom and brie bites were a big hit with everyone. Who wouldn’t love a phyllo cup oozing with brie cheese, topped with caramelized mushrooms and garlic? Quick, simple, and delicious!
Brie and Caramelized Mushroom Mini Tarts
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp butter or olive oil
- 6 oz button mushrooms, chopped into small pieces
- 6 oz cremini mushrooms, chopped into small pieces
- 3-4 cloves of garlic
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
- Double creme brie cheese
- 15 mini phyllo cups
- Fresh parsley, chopped

How to Make Brie and Caramelized Mushroom Mini Tarts
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped mushrooms to the hot oil and cook, without stirring, for 2-3 minutes.
Toss the mushrooms with a spatula and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper; cook for an additional 2 minutes, then add the minced garlic and a bit of freshly chopped parsley. Cook, stirring continuously for 1 minute, then remove from the heat.
Place a big chunk of brie cheese in each phyllo cup, then top with a spoonful of the mushrooms. Place them on a baking sheet.
Bake in the oven for 4-5 minutes or until the cheese is oozing and the phyllo cups are golden brown.
Serve immediately. Enjoy.
