Looking for a simple, yet fancy appetizer? This Strawberry Jalapeño Baked Brie is perfect! The sweet heat combo will wow the crowd for sure!
Part of adulting is having a few great appetizers up your sleeve. You know, the ones that are sure to wow the crowd every time you bring it to a party. I always bring some form of cheese to a party–it must be the Wisconsin Badger in me. From queso to brie, I have the cheese portion of your party covered!
This appetizer is what Rachael Ray calls a “fancy fakeout”. The sight of it brings “ooohs” and “aaaahhhs”, but it truly couldn’t be easier to make. Gotta love simple recipes!
I absolutely adore the combination of sweet and heat. Smucker’s Fruit & Honey Strawberry Jalapeno Fruit Spread does the combo perfectly. I cannot wait to use this spread for my other signature party appetizer: meatballs. Stay tuned! The spread is naturally sweetened with honey, not sugar. If spice isn’t your thing, the Fruit & Honey Blueberry Lemon or Triple Berry varieties are fabulous too!
To go along with the baked brie, Wasa Multigrain Crispbreads are essential. You need something that can hold up for spreading and dipping! Not only are they a low calorie, crunchy snack, they have the Whole Grain Counsel seal right on the package. These crispbreads can be kept whole or broken into rustic style pieces. On a recent trip to Walmart, we picked up both the spread and the crispbread, along with our regular favorite groceries.

Now, this looks really, really good! I have a thing for sweet, spicy and savory so I am going to have to try this out at my next get together to see how the ladies will like it.
I love a good baked brie and love this combination with the Strawberry Jalapeno by Smuckers. It is the perfect snack or appetizer. I will be making this really soon.
Oh my goodness…baked brie is my favorite hot appetizer to serve at parties. And I love the idea of this strawberry jalapeno jelly with it! That sounds amazing! I’ll have to pin this for later for sure!
I love baked brie!!! You just reminded me that it’s been forever since I’ve made it!!! I used to make mine with crushed pecans, caramel sauce, and sliced green grapes!

I am OBSESSED with baked brie, but I have never had it like this before. The strawberry sounds like it would balance out the jalapeno flavor in a unique way. Definitely going to have to remake this one! #client
I haven’t tried this recipe yet. The Strawberry Jalapeno Baked Brie is easy to make. I love strawberries and so do my kids. I will make dessert and serve it to my kids after dinner. Looks good and tasty.
Oh wow. That looks amazing. I think I must have been from Wisconsin in a previous life because I. Love. Cheese. (Except for the stinky blue kind, lol) I love brie and using the strawberry jalapeno combination for the baked brie sounds delicious.
