ONE-BITE BAKED BRIE WITH GRAPE-PECAN COMPOTE
Baked Brie wrapped in phyllo is a perennial party favorite because of the perfect combination of gooey-good baked cheese and crisp, buttery pastry. We've taken it modern and mini, baking the Brie in individual phyllo cups (easier than working with sheets of phyllo) and adding a compote made with toasted pecans and red grapes roasted to intensify their flavor.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the grapes with the oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, tossing once, until the grapes burst and are very soft, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, spread the pecans out on a second rimmed baking sheet, and bake until very golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool, then finely chop.
- Transfer the grapes to a small shallow bowl with a slotted spoon, leaving the oil behind. Stir in the lemon juice and zest and a pinch of salt; set aside to cool completely, then stir in the toasted pecans. (The compote can be made up to a day ahead and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
- Cut off just the very edges of the Brie wheel to make a rough square (it is OK if some rind remains at the corners), then cut into 30 cubes. Put a cube in each phyllo cup, and put the cups on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
- Top each cup with some of the compote, and garnish with a dusting of pepper. Serve warm.

Steps:
- Place a piece of aluminum foil under the rack of your grill and preheat it to medium-high.
- Drizzle the oil over the grapes and season with salt and pepper. Place the grapes and the brie onto the grill and cook, turning both occasionally, until the grapes are lightly charred and bursting, about 4 to 6 minutes.
- Remove the grapes from the heat, transfer to the serving platter and drizzle with balsamic. Continue to cook the brie for 2 to 3 minutes, or until grill marks appear and it is soft but you are still able to lift it. Add to the platter.
- Scatter the pistachios over the brie and grapes and garnish with a few basil leaves. Serve immediately with sliced baguette and crackers.

Steps:
- Light a grill or preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grill grates or grill pan.
- Slice the baguette in half lengthwise and brush the cut sides with a little oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place the grapes with their stems still attached in a medium bowl. Coat the grapes with a little oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Brush the brie with a little oil, as well.
- Once the grill is heated, grill the bread until charred on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove and slice into pieces.
- Add the grape bunches to the grill and cook, turning every couple of minutes, until some of them begin to burst and they turn golden in color, 8 to 10 minutes. About 5 minutes before the grapes are done, add the brie to the grill.
- If using two 8-ounce wheels of brie, grill until you see nice grill marks, 1 to 2 minutes per side. If using one 16-ounce wheel of brie, grill until you see nice grill marks, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Remove the grilled grapes and brie and arrange on a board or platter along with the grilled bread.
- Slather a little of the gooey, grilled brie on a piece of bread and top with a couple of the grilled grapes picked from the stem.
