Notes

Choose mild-flavored pepper jelly. Jalapeno pepper jelly will overwhelm the flavor of the brie.
These are best served fresh baked.
Variations – You can use any preserves you choose to switch up the flavor.
Make Ahead – I don’t recommend making them ahead, they are super fast to make and bake. You can save on prep time by cubing the brie and storing it in an air-tight container in the refrigerator until ready to make them.
Storing – If you happen to have leftovers store them in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350-degree oven for 3-5 minutes.
