Category: Seafood

1 (8 oz) pkg Baby Brie Cheese
1 (6 oz) can crab meat with leg meat, well drained
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp diced pimiento (from 2 oz jar), drained
1 tbsp minced shallot
2 (2.1 oz) pkg frozen phyllo tartlet shells

Heat oven to 350. Trim rind from outside edge of cheese. Cut crosswise into 6 strips. Trim rind from each strip. To form 30 pieces, cut the 4 longest strips each into 6 cubes. Cut the 2 shortest strips each into 3 cubes.

In small bowl, combine crab meat, mayonnaise, pimiento and shallot. Arrange tartlet shells on large cookie sheet. Spoon crab mixture evenly into tartlet shells, about 1 tsp each. Top with cheese cube. Bake 5 minutes or until cheese is soft and melted. Sprinkle with chives.
