Warm Brie and Chutney Appetizer Triangles

Submitted by kiwidutch

"My super cool BIL brought this simple, yet elegant and yummy appetizer to our Thanksgiving feast this year. It was so simple, and I thought that my Zaar friends would enjoy this as well. I have made some modifications, adding pecan halves and crepes. If you want to make this without the crepes, just heat up the Brie (entire round), and pour the jar of chutney over the top. Serve with gourmet cracker assortment."

Awesome combo of ingredients that work so well together, KD. Your intro seemed to invite variations of choice, so I used pita pockets + flour tortillas & they were TDF! I made them as written for crepes, used a pastry brush to apply a thin coat of the melted butter to the tops, dusted some w/paprika & garlic powder on the others & then served w/grapes for color mostly. Using pecans was inspired & added a buttery textural crunch I esp liked, but next time I will chop them to get an even distribution of crunch w/ea tasty bite. So easy to fix, a grown-up appy & also an excellent fruit & cheese dessert w/coffee. Thx for sharing your BILs *Keeper Recipe* w/us! Yum!
