  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

    Bake 10 minutes. Press center with handle of wooden spoon. Bake 6 to 8 minutes longer or until golden brown. Immediately press again in center. Fill each with about 1/2 teaspoon preserves. Top with cheese piece, pecans and chives.
  • 3
    Bake 3 to 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve warm.

  • If you like spicy foods, try substituting red or green jalapeño jelly for the cherry preserves. It's a delicious touch of sweet and spice!
  • Go ahead and assemble the cups and bake up to 4 hours in advance, omitting the final bake time for melting the cheese. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to bake. Right before serving, heat at 375° just until warm and cheese is melted.
  • Arrange these pretty appetizer cups on tiered serving plates with fresh rosemary and cherries.
