Crispy Strawberry and Brie Bites

I don’t know about you, but this warm winter weather has me thinking about the summer already! I suppose living in Florida could be part of the reason, but I know it is unseasonably warm around the east coast this year. Regardless of the temperature, I am 100% a fan of enjoying the flavors of summer throughout the entire year. Thankfully, with Fresh from Florida Strawberries, I’m able to…even in December and January. Today I have a super delicious recipe for crispy strawberry and brie bites that will have your taste buds thinking the month is actually June!

When it comes to summer flavors, strawberries and basil are two things that immediately come to mind. Fresh herbs, juicy berries…does it get any better? When you put them together with a few more simple ingredients, a delicious small bite is born!

In my family, we are ALL about small bites and appetizers. I am much more of a grazer when it comes to meals: I love having small plates filled with various options so I can enjoy a lot of different things! These strawberry and brie bites are perfect for a party or just to pass around the table as an appetizer. The kicker: they are SO easy to put together and only take a few minutes to create from start to finish. That’s a big win for me, and even more of a reason why you should make them immediately.

I am kind of obsessed with these little filo shells – they are the perfect way to present an appetizer (or even a dessert), and I have been finding an endless amount of ways to fill them. However, my current favorite has to be this combination of brie, strawberries, basil, and balsamic glaze. It’s the perfect combo of sweet, savory, salty, crunchy, and smooth. Don’t believe me? Just take a few minutes to whip up a batch yourself. The colors in each bite are vibrant, and if you put a platter of these out at a gathering, they’re bound to disappear pretty quickly.

Can I also just say how fun it is to drizzle balsamic glaze? I was really getting into my artistic groove. If you’re looking for an easy way to drizzle, simply transfer your balsamic glaze to a squeeze bottle: the small opening in the tip of the bottle will make it easier for you to control exactly where each line of balsamic glaze hits on your strawberry and brie bites.

Now, you don’t have to convince the folks in my family to eat strawberries: their flavor alone has everyone in love. However, did you know that 8 medium strawberries equals your daily requirement of vitamin C? Since vitamin C improves your immune system and helps it make collagen, getting your daily intake of strawberries helps keep you in tip top shape!

I know that sometimes when you think of strawberries, your mind might think of dessert dishes, but that is not the only time of the day you can incorporate these beautiful red berries! From breakfast, to lunch, to dinner, there are so many options! That is why the Sunday Supper family has banded together today along with Fresh from Florida Strawberries to present you with an array of delicious strawberry dishes to inspire you to get those berries around the family table for any meal of the day!
