I don’t know about you, but I am getting quite excited for all the upcoming holiday gatherings and it has me thinking about appetizers! I’ve mentioned before that our Christmas Eve tradition has always been an appetizer buffet and it’s one of those traditions that I look forward to the most – it’s so fun making bite-sized treats and because it’s the holidays it’s always appropriate to go for the more decadent ingredients, which I don’t mind one bit!
I’ve been making this Apricot Pecan Baked Brie Appetizer for about 10 years and it makes its way onto our Christmas Eve appetizer buffet table almost every year. With rich, nutty flavours and all the sweetness of apricot it’s the perfect savoury treat for the holidays – not to mention the fact that the colours are gorgeous AND it’s SO easy to make! And for the last several years I’ve appreciated it for an entirely different reason: my kids hate it!! It must be the strong, distinct flavour of Brie that my kids have an aversion to (of course, they’re only 4 and 2 years old so it’s understandable) but in any case, my kids won’t go near the stuff. So of course I keep making it because, well…
But in all seriousness there’s really nothing wrong with reserving those extra rich and delicious recipes for adult-only gatherings and in our family, this is definitely one of those recipes. And I’m not going to pretend that I’m at all posh or sophisticated…not even a little bit. In fact, I spend the majority of my time in yoga pants, usually with someone’s saliva or mucus smeared on my shirt (I’m a stay-at-home-mom of preschoolers, what can I say?). But if the party I’m hosting calls for my nice skinny jeans or even, heaven forbid, a pair of pantyhose and a skirt, then this Apricot Pecan Baked Brie Appetizer is definitely going to be on the menu. After the kids are in bed, of course.
