Sunday dinners are different from what they used to be. With two children out of the “nest” and one in college, it is quiet around the dinner table. But I still enjoy ending or starting (depending on how you look at it) the week with a nice meal, and planning menus has always been something I enjoy!
Planning this menu was particularly easy because I had everything on hand—yes, even the duck fat! With more holidays right around the corner, I wanted to share this quick and easy appetizer.
To make holiday entertaining come together quickly in terms of food, I love to keep Athens Phyllo Shells in my freezer. They are a perfect vessel for a myriad of ingredients. Tonight, they will be filled with leftover Whole-Berry Cranberry Sauce, Brie cheese, and… THAT’S IT! Said in my best Ina voice,” How easy was that?”
If you want a little more flavor, add some chopped Candied Pecans or some chopped fresh rosemary. They are all winning combinations!
Speaking of winning combinations, I am sharing a few more ideas below that utilize those phyllo pastry shells. If you click on the links to the recipes, you might even find even more great ideas for appetizers and entertaining! Happy Sunday!

Brie bites have become a go-to for entertaining in my home, and I'm happy to see a few more ways to make them! Thank you!
I hear you about Sunday dinners changing. We never had regular ones like you did, but for awhile I made an effort to have nice Sunday dinners for my family with appetizers, dessert, and a fun drink. My kids LOVED them! Now, I have 3 in college and 1 still at home. It's different. But we have so many wonderful memories around the table because of your Sunday dinner posts. Thank you!
