Easy Baked Brie Bites Recipe
These cranberry brie bites with phyllo dough are my go-to holiday appetizer.
- 4 simple ingredients.
- So easy to make!
- Sweet & savory blended together in one perfect bite.
- Customize to your liking, chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, add a nice crunch.
Ingredients
- phyllo dough sheets: Phyllo dough is used to create the crispy, flaky pastry layers that encase the brie and cranberry. It’s important to keep it covered with a damp kitchen towel to prevent it from drying out while you work with it. Swap out the phyllo with puff pastry or crescent roll dough if desired.
- butter: either salted or unsalted will work.
- brie: Remove the rind from the brie cheese, as the rind can be a bit tough
- cranberry sauce: You can use store-bought cranberry sauce or make your own.
You will also need a mini muffin pan.
To make these look festive, add fresh rosemary to the top of the cranberry sauce for a red and green delight.
