Description

These Easy Cranberry Brie Bites are delightful, bite-sized appetizers perfect for holiday gatherings or any festive occasion. Creamy Brie cheese is nestled in buttery crescent roll dough, topped with sweet-tart whole berry cranberry sauce and optionally garnished with crunchy pecans and fragrant fresh rosemary. Baked to golden perfection, these savory-sweet treats are warm, melty, and irresistible.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 (8-ounce) tube refrigerated crescent roll dough

Filling

  • 4 ounces Brie cheese, rind removed and cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary (optional)

Other

  • Nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray a mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and pinch together the seams to form a single sheet. Cut the dough evenly into 24 squares.
  3. Line Muffin Cups: Press each dough square into the bottom and up the sides of each mini muffin cup, creating a small dough cup to hold the filling.
  4. Add Brie Cheese: Place one small cube of Brie cheese into the bottom of each dough cup.
  5. Top with Cranberry Sauce: Spoon a small amount of whole berry cranberry sauce over the Brie in each cup.
  6. Add Optional Toppings: If desired, sprinkle chopped pecans and fresh rosemary on top for added texture and flavor.
  7. Bake: Bake the bites in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the bites to cool for about 5 minutes, then carefully remove them from the muffin tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • To remove the rind from Brie easily, refrigerate the cheese before cutting.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the pecans.
  • Fresh rosemary adds a fragrant herbal note, but you can substitute with thyme or skip entirely.
  • Make sure to press the dough firmly into the muffin cups to prevent leakage while baking.
  • These bites can be made ahead and gently reheated before serving.
