Description

Cranberry Brie Bites are delightful, bite-sized appetizers featuring creamy brie cheese, tangy whole berry cranberry sauce, and crunchy roasted pecans nestled in buttery crescent dough. Finished with a touch of fresh rosemary, these savory-sweet bites are perfect for holiday parties or any festive gathering.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 (8-oz.) tube crescent dough
  • All-purpose flour, for surface
  • Cooking spray

Filling

  • 1 (8-oz.) wheel of brie
  • 1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 1/4 cup chopped roasted unsalted pecans
  • 6 sprigs fresh rosemary, cut into 1″ pieces

Instructions

  1. Prepare the muffin tin and dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a mini 24-cup muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking. On a floured surface, roll out the crescent dough and press the seams together to create a single sheet. Cut the dough into 24 equal squares and press each square gently into the muffin cups, forming little dough cups.
  2. Add the filling: Cut the brie cheese into small pieces that will fit inside each dough cup. Place a piece of brie into each dough cup. Spoon a generous amount of whole berry cranberry sauce over the brie, then sprinkle chopped roasted pecans on top. Finish by placing one small piece of fresh rosemary on each bite for added aroma and flavor.
  3. Bake to golden perfection: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until the crescent dough is puffed up and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before removing from the muffin tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh rosemary and chop pecans just before assembling to maintain flavor and texture.
  • You can substitute cranberry sauce with other fruit preserves for a different twist.
  • These bites can be assembled ahead and refrigerated before baking; just add a couple extra minutes to baking time if chilled.
  • If you prefer a nuttier flavor, try toasting the pecans lightly before chopping.
