I’m pretty sure my food pyramid has an entire section devoted to ‘Things to Put on Crackers’. This one may be my new favorite. Baked Brie with Blackberry Compote from Brown Eyed Baker is perfect for a small group and can easily be altered with raspberries or even chopped up strawberries.

Brie and apple is one of my favorite food combinations. A good salty brie with a crisp apple like a Gala or Fuji tastes so good together. Thoughtfully Simple has an excellent recipe for these two ingredients together as an appetizer in her Apple and Brie Crostini recipe.
In a pinch you could simplify this by omitting the nuts and honey, but they add a nice touch to the presentation.
Spicy Pear Chutney & Swiss Sandwich photo via Typographie Vintage
One of my favorite fashion bloggers, Liz from Typographie Vintage, recently wrote a recipe for this delicious and simple pear chutney (with a bit of spice coming from the Asian condiment Sriracha). She then paired it with Swiss cheese to make a great vegetarian sandwich. I’m not a fan of Swiss cheese, so I plan to eat this with Brie on a warm bagel.
If you aren’t interested in a spicy chutney, you could omit the Sriracha and be left with a sweet topping for burgers, grilled cheese, or even ice cream.
