Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F Place cheese in small baking pan. Spread top of cheese with preserves; sprinkle with almonds. Bake about 10 to 12 minutes or until cheese begins to melt and lose its shape. Serve hot with assorted crackers. Refrigerate leftovers; reheat before serving.
Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful apricots. This will ensure that your appetizer is bursting with flavor. If you can't find ripe apricots, you can use dried apricots, but be sure to soak them in warm water for 30 minutes before using.
- Choose a brie that is ripe, but not too soft. You want the brie to be able to hold its shape when you cut it, but you also want it to be soft and creamy when you bite into it.
- If you don't have a baking sheet, you can use a large skillet instead. Just be sure to grease the skillet well so that the brie doesn't stick.
- Brie and apricot appetizers can be made ahead of time. Simply prepare the appetizers according to the recipe and then store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before serving.
- To serve, bake the appetizers in a preheated oven until the brie is melted and bubbly. You can then garnish the appetizers with chopped nuts, fresh herbs, or a drizzle of honey.
