Makes 30 (or more) appetizers. I thought this would make an even thirty but it probably could make 60 easy.  Low-cost high impact and they taste really good!  They are easy fast and impressive what more could you want??

Prep time 25 minutes

1 pkg 8oz brie cheese rind removed and cut into small squares

1 container fresh crab meat 6oz

2 tsp mayonnaise

1 roasted red pepper in oil minced (or pimento 1 tsp)

1 tsp shallot minced

2 15 per pack phyllo tartlet shells

1 tsp fresh chives (to decorate the bites)

heat oven to 350 degrees.

in a small bowl combine the crab, mayo, red pepper or pimento and shallot.

arrange the tartlets on a baking sheet and fill with the crab mixture, top with a piece of brie and bake for 5 minutes or until the brie is melted. top with a sliver of chive and serve.

I will admit these have a great taste while hot/warm.. don’t let them cool off to much they get a different texture when cooled not so creamy and mixed.  All in all a great start to a meal!
