Brie Bites with Cranberry

puff pastry

Brie cheese

Homemade Cranberry Sauce (or whole berry cranberry sauce

flaky sea salt (such

pecans

rosemary

Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the Brie in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up. VERY generously coat 2, 24-cup mini muffin pans with nonstick spray (if you only have 1 pan or if you have 2, 12-cups pans, make the Brie bites in batches).

Unroll 1 sheet puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface (leave the second sheet in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it). Roll into a 10 x 14-inch rectangle. Cut the sheet lengthwise into 4 even strips. Cut crosswise into 6 even strips. You will have 24 squares total (each square will be about 2 1/2 inches on each side). Gently separate the squares and press them into the mini muffin tins to create a puff pastry cup. With the tines of a fork, prick the bottom of each puff pastry in 2 to 3 places.

Cut the piece of Brie in half, then place 1 half back in the freezer. Dice the remaining Brie into 24 pieces (they will be between 3/4 and 1/2-inch on each side). Place one piece of Brie in the center of each mini muffin cup. Top each piece of Brie with 1 teaspoon cranberry sauce. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, then half of the chopped pecans. Place in the refrigerator. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry, second half of Brie, and the remaining salt and pecans.

Place each muffin pan on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any cheese or cranberry that bubbles over. Bake the pans on the upper and lower thirds of the oven for 18 to 20 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and the corners are golden brown, switching the pans' positions on the upper and lower racks once halfway through. Let cool in the pans for 3 minutes. If any of the Brie or cranberry has bubbled out, use a fork to scoot it back into the center of the bites (no one will know!).

Gently transfer the bites to a serving plate (I find a fork works well to transfer them). Garnish each with a small piece of fresh rosemary. Enjoy hot or at room temperature.

Cranberry Brie Bites

(8-oz.) tube crescent dough

Cooking spray,

Flour,

(8-oz.) wheel of brie

c. whole berry cranberry sauce

c. chopped pecans

What kind of cranberry sauce do you usually buy?

These were absolutely outstanding! Some thoughts though...15 minutes is way too long in 2 different ovens that I made them in. The crescents recommend 9-12 and even 12 minutes at 350° was too much. The crescents ended up overbaked and the cheese stuck to the pan even with cooking spray, so they didn’t pop out of the pan easily. I’ll have to continue playing with the time. The alternate flavor suggestions sound terrific and I might play with that in the future. The basic components together are an outstanding flavor combination, and I’ll definitely make them again.

So simple, easy and elegant for parties!!  Followed the recipe and it helped that I put the brie in the freezer for a bit to make it easier to cut in chunks.  I didn't have whole berries cranberries but fresh cranberry sauce and it worked just as well.  I made a batch with rosemary and a batch without (kids don't care for rosemary on top) and it was a hit both ways.  Next time will try will fig jam - I've always liked that combo.  Has anyone tried it with honey? I've had brie with honey and that's delish as well - not sure how it'll bake though.

GREAT party appetizers - now part of my regular potluck offer!

This recipe was awesome! My stepdad and I are both huge Brie fans and this turned out fantastic. I used my mom's leftover homemade cranberry sauce from Thanksgiving and it was perfect. Will definitely make it again.

I’ve made these about five times since thanksgiving...super easy using a pizza cutter for the dough and the cheese! Everyone loves them! I don’t use the sprigs of rosemary but crush some dried up in my hands and sprinkle over top...no “trees” to bite into!😉

I made these in several different variations and they were quite tasty. I recommend making your own cranberry sauce (it's very easy, google it) because the Ocean Spray canned sauce had little flavor. I also prefer removing the rind from the brie for a better & creamier taste. And thyme instead of rosemary, with rosemary it felt like I was eating pointy pine needles, it was quite unpleasant. The pecans are also a must! They add a very nice crunch to the soft texture of the other ingredients. 

My first batch came out quite messy, the cheese oozed out, maybe I added too much? Though I went by the video.

I also baked them according to the can of dough for about 12-13 minutes and it was just about perfect! Will be sharing these with some friends I hope they enjoy them.

I recently had these at a potluck and I couldn't get enough of them!! I love brie with some kind of fruit compote/spread and this was the perfect bite! The little bit of rosemary added just the right touch of yumminess!! I can't wait to try making them myself!!

I made these in a regular muffin pan, I dont have a mini. I also forgot to bring my chopped pecans to the house I made them at and forgot to add rosemary. They fell apart like crazy and looked messy, but they were SO delicious and every single person who tried them complimented them! Next time I will follow the recipe as directed and get a mini muffin pan as well :)

Made these last night for a party. They were a big hit! I baked the Crescents in the mini muffin pan earlier in the day and put the cheese and toppings on right before the party and just heated them til the cheese melted. they were perfect.  I also used a variety of jams so they were so pretty! Thank you so much for a recipe that will be used and passed around for years!  And by the way, no one cared when they cooled off and ate them anyway!

These were good, but I felt the sweetness of the cranberry sauce overpowered the brie. I had cut back on the brie, but next time I don't think I will. Next I am going to try this recipe with apricot preserves with small chopped jalapeño in it. I've tried this in another recipe. After cooking, you don't really get the heat from the jalapeño, but the taste is amazing. That may help the sweetness for those who feel these are too sweet. I put the brie wheel in the freezer for about 1/2 hour and then cut the brie in small pieces. It was so easy to cut that way.

So good. Thank you! The flavors are so yummy

We tried them with a fig/orange spread and as soon as I tasted one I said "This tastes like Christmas."  Delicious!

I make these for every single holiday party and can promise you they're the first thing to go. Make sure you don't go too crazy with the brie or it can spill over!

Cranberry Brie Bites = The Perfect Holiday Appetizer

These cranberry brie bites are an easy, fun, and gorgeous cocktail party appetizer, and your guests will love them! Brie and cranberries are natural companions, and these cute little bites are a seriously tasty combination of sweet, tart, and salty. If you prepare the jam and crostini in advance (which takes less than 30 minutes), these two-bite appetizer toasts take just 10 minutes to assemble.

cranberries

brown sugar

orange

tsp vanilla extract

baguette

olive oil

tsp salt

oz brie (sliced into 24 pieces)

Combine the cranberries, brown sugar, orange juice, orange zest, vanilla, and rosemary in a small pot. Bring the liquid to a simmer and stir frequently with a wood spoon until the sugar has dissolved. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries are falling apart and a jam-like consistency has formed, 20-25 minutes. Remove from heat and fish out the orange peels and rosemary stems. Taste for sweetness, and add more brown sugar (start with a tablespoon) if the jam is too tart. Set aside to cool.

Heat the oven to 375°F. Slice the baguette into 24 1/2" slices. Brush each side with olive oil, then lay onto a baking sheet. Sprinkle the slices with salt. Transfer the slices to the oven and bake, flipping once halfway through, until golden brown and crisp, 12-15 minutes.&nbsp;

To prepare the brie bites, top each slice of toasted baguette with a slice of brie cheese and a tablespoon of cranberry jam. Garnish with a small piece of rosemary if desired. Serve at room temperature. The jam will keep in the fridge for 3-5 days in a sealed container.&nbsp;
