Description

Cranberry Brie Bites are a crowd-pleasing, bite-sized holiday appetizer made with crescent dough, melty brie, tart cranberry sauce, and a sprinkle of crunchy nuts. They’re quick, festive, and perfect for parties or family gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale

8 oz tube crescent roll dough

Flour for rolling

6 oz brie cheese

¼ cup orange marmalade

¼ cup whole cranberry sauce

¼ cup chopped pistachios, pecans, or walnuts

Fresh rosemary or candied orange pieces for garnish


Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 °F (≈ 190 °C) and grease a 24-count mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.

  • Cut the brie into small squares (about 1 inch or just under) and chill in the refrigerator until ready to use—this helps with cleaner slices.

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the tube of crescent roll dough. Stretch slightly to form a uniform rectangle and pinch together any seams.

  • Cut the dough into 24 even squares.

  • Press each dough square into one of the prepared mini muffin cups, forming a little pastry “nest.”

  • Place a brie square into each dough-lined cup. Then add about 1 teaspoon (or a little less) of the orange marmalade and cranberry-sauce mixture on top of each brie.

  • Sprinkle the chopped nuts over each one, then add a small sprig of rosemary or a piece of candied orange for garnish.

  • Bake for about 10–13 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through. (Keep an eye on them—once the brie is melty and the pastry golden, they’re done.)

  • Let the bites cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes before removing and serving warm.

Notes

Chill brie before slicing for cleaner cuts.

Use puff pastry for a fancier version.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Reheat in oven to restore crispness.

Freeze baked bites for up to 3 months.
