These tasty little phyllo cups are simply filled with a piece of Brie and some caramelized onions with thyme. Some grocery stores carry pre-made phyllo cups which make it even easier. Sauté the onions in butter first , slowly, to get them golden brown. One large onion and a 6-oz wedge of Brie makes about 8-12 onion bites in a regular muffin tin, or more if using a mini muffin tin.
Great for entertaining! Enjoy!

I know it’s been persimmon-palooza around here for a while, but this will likely be the last persimmon recipe until next Fall. I had some left over persimmon after making this salad for Thanksgiving, so I sliced them into wedges and made these little appetizer sandwiches, which people seemed to really like! You could use any kind of cheese, really…but do make sure you choose Fuyu persimmons (the squat tomato looking ones that are eaten when crunchy and don’t leave a pasty taste in your mouth like those soft oblong ones). If you can’t find persimmons, you could also use pears or apples. This is an easy cocktail hour snack to serve before dinner, and can easily be made ahead. Enjoy!
The Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashana starts today which marks the beginning of the New Year on the Jewish calendar. To sweeten the New Year it is traditional to eat apples and honey and round foods which signify the annual cycle. To kick off the High Holidays, we have a couple of big meals with friends and family and this year I am making this apple and honey galette. It’s an easy dessert and you only need 2 apples! You can really use any kind of soft cheese, but I used brie. Serve it warm or at room temperature.
L'Shanah Tovah (Happy New Year!)
