Cranberry Brie Appetizer Bites

Cranberry Brie Appetizer Bites


  • Total Time: 31 minute
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tube (8 oz) refrigerated crescent dough or 1 sheet of puff pastry
  • 8 oz wheel of Brie cheese, chilled
  • 1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish
  • Cooking spray or melted butter for the tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. Unroll the crescent dough or puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Pinch any seams together if using crescent dough.
  3. Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into 24 equal-sized squares.
  4. Press each dough square into a slot in the mini muffin tin, making sure the edges come up the sides to form a small cup.
  5. Cut the Brie cheese into small cubes (about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch). You do not need to remove the white rind; it is edible and delicious.
  6. Place one cube of Brie into each dough cup.
  7. Top the cheese with a generous teaspoon of cranberry sauce.
  8. Sprinkle the chopped pecans or walnuts over the top of the cranberry sauce.
  9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the pastry edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  10. Remove from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. This helps the cheese set slightly so they are easier to remove.
  11. Drizzle with a little honey or maple syrup and garnish with a tiny piece of fresh rosemary before serving.
