Everyone should have an appetizer go-to recipe in their recipe box. It’s the recipe everyone expects when they stop by for a visit or when they ask you to contribute something yummy to the office pot luck or family picnic. This one is mine. Brie is a party favorite. It’s creamy, smooth and salty. When paired with a savory-sweet chutney, the brie’s flavors are elevated and it transforms into an elegant treat for any occasion. How to make this rich appetizer better? Instead of crackers, scoop it up with Seneca Snacks Pear Chips.
Seneca Snacks Pear Chips have a delicate flavor that brings out the ingredients in the pear chutney and warm milky brie. I love how impressive this appetizer looks but in reality, it’s very simple to assemble and only takes a few minutes to prepare.
