Ingredients
Scale
Pastry
- 1 tube (8 ounces) crescent rolls
Fillings
- 4 ounces brie cheese
- ⅓ cup homemade cranberry sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the bites.
- Prepare dough: Unroll the crescent rolls and gently press the seams together to form a uniform dough sheet. Cut the dough into 18 rectangles.
- Fill muffin tin: Place each dough rectangle into a cup of a mini muffin tin. It's okay if the dough doesn't cover all sides of the cup.
- Add cheese: Cut the brie cheese into 18 small pieces, placing one piece into each dough-lined muffin cup.
- Top with cranberry sauce: Spoon about a teaspoon of homemade cranberry sauce onto each brie piece.
- Bake: Bake the bites in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until the dough becomes golden brown and the cheese and cranberry sauce bubble.
- Serve warm: Immediately remove the bites from the muffin tin and serve them warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- These bites are equally perfect for casual snacking or festive holiday parties.
- You can substitute store-bought cranberry sauce if homemade is not available.
- Using mini muffin tins ensures perfectly sized bite portions.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute vegan Brie and cranberry preserves.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the cheese warm and melty.
