Working from home is a blessing that comes with a lot of challenges. One of those challenges is remembering to eat on a regular schedule. It’s much easier during the summer months because the kids remind me, but during the school year, it can be more of a challenge.
Oftentimes I finally remember to eat when I get “hangry” – you know, that moment when you realize you’re so hungry that you’re angry? Over the years, I’ve come up with a variety of different simple snacks that I can make quickly to satisfy both my hunger and my taste buds.
One of my go-to simple snacks is crackers and cheese. It has a great balance of the different macronutrients and it’s super quick to put together.
Since taking French in high school, I fell in love with Brie. I’m pretty sure I’d be happy eating it every day. The creamy texture pairs perfectly with crackers. I am really the only one in my family that really enjoys brie, but that’s secretly okay with me. More for me, right?
The only thing that makes the brie and crackers combination better is fruit spread. Yep, you heard that right. Spicy fruit spread is the best.
While I normally slice up the brie to eat cold on the crackers with a dollop of fruit spread, I like to mix it up sometimes. Baked brie might sound intimidating but it’s one of the easiest simple snacks or appetizers you can prepare! All you need is some brie, some tasty fruit spread and crackers and you’re set.
I typically use a red pepper jam, but when I saw the new Smucker’s Fruit & Honey Strawberry Jalapeno Fruit Spread at Walmart, I knew I wanted to give that a try. After all, strawberries are the perfect summer treat!
I have to say, it turned out quite nicely!
If you haven’t tried the new Smucker’s Fruit & Honey spreads yet, you should! They’re sweetened with honey, so they’re a better choice for your family. They come in other flavors too like Strawberry, Triple Berry, Concord Grape and Blueberry Lemon.
Simple Snacks: Sweet & Spicy Baked Brie with Crackers
Ingredients
- Plain wheat (or gluten free) crackers
- Large wheel of triple cream brie cheese
- Smucker’s Honey-Sweetened Strawberry Jalapeno Fruit Spread
Directions
Place your wheel of brie into a small cast iron pan. I like to use a pan rather than a serving platter because it’s easy to reheat if the brie gets too cold.
Bake the brie at 375 degrees F for about 15 minutes or until the brie is all melty inside and the coating puffs up.
Pour the entire jar of Smucker’s Fruit & Honey Strawberry Jalapeno Fruit Spread over the top of the baked brie.
Serve your delicious sweet and spicy baked brie with plain organic crackers.
