Description
Cranberry Brie Bites are delightful mini appetizers featuring creamy brie cheese and tangy homemade cranberry sauce wrapped in flaky crescent roll dough. Perfect for holiday gatherings or cozy date nights, these easy-to-make bites combine sweet and savory flavors baked to golden perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 tube crescent rolls (8 ounces)
Filling
- 4 oz brie cheese
- ⅓ cup homemade cranberry sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the bites.
- Prepare dough: Unroll the crescent rolls and gently press the seams together to form a single sheet of dough. Cut the dough into 18 rectangles approximately equal in size.
- Fill muffin tin: Place each dough rectangle into a cup of a mini muffin tin, pressing gently but not worrying if the dough doesn’t reach all the way up the sides.
- Prepare filling: Cut the brie cheese into 18 small pieces, about bite-size, and place one piece on top of the dough in each muffin cup.
- Add cranberry sauce: Spoon about one teaspoon of homemade cranberry sauce on top of each piece of brie cheese.
- Bake: Bake the bites in the oven for 12 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese and cranberry sauce are bubbling.
- Serve warm: Immediately remove the cranberry brie bites from the muffin tin and serve while warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- These bites are perfect for holiday parties or romantic dinners thanks to their festive flavor and simplicity.
- If you don’t have homemade cranberry sauce, store-bought cranberry sauce can be used as a convenient substitute.
- Be careful not to overfill the dough cups to prevent the filling from spilling during baking.
- Serve immediately after baking for the optimal cheesy, gooey experience.
