A SIMPLE AND BEAUTIFUL APPETIZER So let me tell you how delicious these super simple Cranberry Brie Bites taste!

If you want something just a bit elevated but will only take you minutes to make – this is THE one! FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: Can you substitute crescent dough with something else? Puff pastry dough can be substituted for the crescent roll dough. Do you take the rind off of brie before baking? No it is not necessary. It is perfectly okay to eat. Some people do not like the texture of the rind so you can cut it off if you prefer. What jam is good with brie? I love the cranberry sauce with brie because of the contrast in flavors, but you can top with blueberry jam, raspberry, strawberry or orange marmalade. Also try topping with toasted walnuts and pecans instead of the rosemary. Can you reheat cranberry brie bites? Yes. I think they are best reheated in an air fryer or the oven. That way the crescent roll dough doesn’t become too soft. Heat up just long enough for the center to get warm. How do I keep these warm when I put them out for guests? I have become absolutely obsessed with this warming mat from Amazon (paid link). It is a lifesaver. Anything that needs to be kept warm can go on a plate, then put on the mat. It will keep it nice and warm (not hot) while it is being served. Just bake sure whatever plate or tray you use that it is not plastic. Anything heat safe will work. Can you freeze cranberry brie bites? Yes. These can be frozen after they’ve been cooked. You need to wrap them very well to prevent against freezer burn then place in a freezer-safe container or bag. Defrost in the refrigerator, then reheat in the oven or an air fryer. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE) all-purpose flour crescent dough sheet – You could use puff pastry for this – I have not tested it and you may need to adjust the baking time. brie cheese – if you don’t like brie then you could go with another semi-soft cheese. whole berry cranberry sauce – do not get the jellied cranberry sauce. It is not the same. See my ingredient image below. You want to look for the cans of whole cranberry sauce. They are usually next to each other on the shelf so be careful with which one you grab. fresh rosemary sprigs – this is optional but they really give that touch of festiveness and it makes it just a tiny bit elegant. HOW TO MAKE CRANBERRY BRIE BITES: Preheat oven to 375°F degrees. Spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray. Spread a little flour out onto your counter. Then roll out crescent dough. If using crescent rolls rather than the crescent roll dough sheet, be sure to pinch the seams together to make one sheet. Cut crescent roll dough into 24 equal-sized squares. Place squares into muffin tin slots. Cut brie into small pieces and place inside the crescent dough squares. Top with a generous spoonful of cranberry sauce. Finally, top each one with a little sprig of rosemary. Bake until the crescent dough is a light golden brown (about 15 minutes). Then serve warm! CRAVING MORE?
