OK...this recipe probably betrays my suburban (some would say "white trash") roots, but it's pretty tasty. And looks elegant enough to have held its own next to the elegant appetizers and canapes I served at our black-tie-optional Academy Awards party in February. It's simple and could prove a hit at your next soiree.
Cheese Bites
From Southern Living
4 ounces (1/2 package) cream cheese (or 4 ounces Brie)
1 can refrigerated flaky buttermilk biscuits
1/2 cup jalapeño pepper jelly (or substitute mango chutney or your favorite spicy/sweet preserves)
Cut cream cheese into 24 pieces, and let soften.
Separate each biscuit into thirds, making 3 rounds. Press biscuit rounds into bottom and up sides of 24 mini-muffin cups. Spoon about 1 tsp. pepper jelly into center of each biscuit cup; top each with 1 cream cheese piece.
Bake at 425° for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
