This is an easy and scrumptious (hello Brie! hello crab!) little app. You'll have to pick up a few special items you most likely don't have on hand, but we guarantee these will fly off the plate when you serve them. (We got the recipe from Alouette's web site, lots of good ideas over there. Check it out.)

Rating: Truly 1/2 assed

Here's what you need and how you do it

1 package (8 oz.) Alouette Baby Brie Cheese
1 can (6 oz.) crab meat with leg meat, well drained 
2 Tablespoon mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon diced pimiento (from 2 oz. jar), drained 
1 Tablespoon minced shallot
2 packages (2.1 oz. each) frozen phyllo tartlet shells 
1 Tablespoon fresh chives, chopped

Heat oven to 350 F.

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.
