- 1 package frozen mini fillo shells 15 (I use Athens brand)
- 3 slices bacon
- 3 ounces brie cheese cut evenly into 15 small pieces
- 4 Natural Delights Medjool Dates pitted and chopped into ¼-inch pieces
- 1 ounce blue cheese crumbled (¼ cup)
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the mini fillo shells from the freezer and allow to thaw for 10 minutes before baking (but not longer than 10 minutes). Arrange them on a large, rimmed baking sheet in an even, single layer.
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Divide the brie, chopped dates, and blue cheese evenly among the 15 mini fillo shells. Crumble the bacon and divide among the shells. Bake the filled fillo shells until the brie is melted and the fillo pastry is crisp and flaky, 5 to 7 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped basil and serve immediately.
