I’m not opposed to a sweet appetizer, but it needs to have something that distinguishes it from a dessert item. In the case of these fillo bites either the cheese needs to be tangy or the cranberries tart. Unfortunately, neither is the case.
The camembert cheese is very mild and the cranberry sauce is slightly sweet. In fact, if you didn’t know this was supposed to be cranberry, you’d think it was cherry pie filling. Overall, not much flavor and more like dessert than an appetizer.
In fact, I’d consider putting two of these in a small dish or cupcake liner and topping with a drizzle of honey, dried cranberries, walnut pieces and maybe even a small scoop of vanilla ice cream.
If you’ve tried these, what did you think?
