When we arrived at the farm last week for Thanksgiving dinner, my mom welcomed us with this enticing appetizer tray complete with encrusted brie with pepper jelly. We felt so welcomed and glad to be there.
Encrusted brie is warm, savory, melty, and a touch spicy. In short, it’s perfect! Best of all, it’s simple to make. If you need a delicious Christmas appetizer for a gathering this season, this recipe is guaranteed to make people feel welcomed and loved.
