I made this for a party last week and it came out delicious. It was super easy to put together but made it look like I had really put a lot of effort in. Unfortunately, none of the kids would eat the brie cheese, so only the adults ate it! A winner just the same.

This recipe was fast, easy and delicious... I absolutely love it and will make it again!

I substituted a mixed olive tapenade for the cherry preserves in one batch and drizzled with a little olive oil. We loved the savory result!

This was amazing, although I did make a couple of changes. I had raspberry preserves in my fridge so used that instead of the cherry and used frozen phyllo cups instead of making them from scratch. I've made these twice in the last week and will definitely add this to my list of favorites. I thought I might try them with apricot preserves next time.

Very easy to make. But, they taste and look as if you were in the kitchen for hours. I had to double the recipe, I couldn't stop eating them before the guests arrived. I thought they even tasted good cold. This will be a regular on my appetizer list.

This was easy to make, very pretty, and tasty. I brought them to a Christmas party and they were a hit! Thanks for the great recipe. :)

Made this for an event and I cut the pastry beforehand to make easy work. I also pre-cut the brie and removed the white edges for better melting. The pastry puffs even if you kep it fridged several days. They look good and people loved them.

The brie was too strong. Next time, I will switch to camembert. Very disappointed in the phyllo sheets--too thick, dry. This recipie would be better using the mini phyllo cups. Raspberry preserves are an excellent substitute if you don't care for cherry.

I've made this several times for parties. Always a big hit.

I used a homemade puff pastry and it was very good. However, many of the guests were a little weirded out by the chives. I would leave them off next time, I think.
