Cranberry Brie Bites
These Cranberry Brie Bites are the ultimate quick and elegant appetizer, perfect for the holidays or any gathering.
Ingredients
- 1 (8-oz.) tube crescent dough
- 1 (8-oz.) wheel of brie cheese
- ½ cup whole berry cranberry sauce (or cranberry jam)
- ¼ cup chopped pecans (or glazed pecans)
- 6 sprigs fresh rosemary (cut into 1-inch pieces)
- cooking spray (such as canola oil)
- flour (for dusting the surface)
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin pan with cooking spray.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the crescent dough and cut it into small, even squares. Gently press each square into the muffin pan, making sure the edges slightly rise up the sides to form a cup shape.
Assemble the Bites
- Cut the brie into small bite-sized pieces and place one inside each crescent dough cup.
- Spoon about ½ to 1 teaspoon of cranberry sauce over each piece of brie.
- Sprinkle chopped pecans on top for a little crunch. For a festive touch, add a small rosemary sprig to each bite.
Bake and Serve
- Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crescent dough turns a light golden brown and crisps up nicely.
- Remove from the oven and let the bites cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm for the best texture and flavor. You can drizzle with honey for a hint of sweetness that pairs beautifully with the brie.
