4 crispy cracker breads, zwieback, or Melba toasts
2 tablespoons melted butter
6 ounces cream cheese
4 1/2 ounces Bire cheese, with rind
1 egg
1 tablespoon dry sherry
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon pepper
24 fresh basil leaves
6 cherry tomatoes, quartered
Small basil leaves for garnish
Cooking spray

Directions
Spray 24 mini muffin tins with cooking spray. Put crackers in blender to crush. Put crushed crackers in a bowl and add the melted butter to the crumbs. Press into the bottom of muffin tins. Beat together cream cheese, Brie, egg, sherry, garlic powder, salt and pepper with a hand mixer until combined. This may be made one day ahead, covered and refrigerated. The mixture will be lumpy. Place one teaspoon in each muffin tin. Place a basil leaf on top. Top with more cheese mixture and and bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. Cool slightly. Remove tins and top each with a cherry tomato wedge and additional basil leaf. Serve slightly warm. Cracker bread can be found with the specialty crackers.
