Cranberry Brie Bites
Cranberry Brie Bites are the ultimate holiday appetizer — buttery puff pastry, creamy brie, and tangy cranberry sauce baked into golden perfection. Sweet, savory, and festive in every bite.
Equipment
- Mini muffin tin
- Knife to cut brie
- Cutting board
- Oven
- pastry brush (optional for glaze)
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 6 oz brie cheese, cut into small cubes
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
- fresh rosemary or thyme for garnish (optional)
- chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- orange zest (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly flour your work surface and unfold the puff pastry. Cut into 12 equal squares.
- Place each puff pastry square into a mini muffin tin, pressing to form cups. Add a cube of brie in each and top with 1 tsp cranberry sauce.
- Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if using. Add herbs, nuts, or zest as desired.
- Bake for 13–15 minutes or until puffed and golden, and the brie is melted and bubbly.
- Cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
Notes
Use cold puff pastry for flakier results. Trim the brie rind for a smoother melt. Garnish with fresh herbs or nuts for added texture. Assemble ahead of time and bake just before serving for convenience.
