Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 tube crescent rolls (8 ounces)
- 4 oz brie cheese
- ⅓ cup homemade cranberry sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s ready for baking the bites evenly.
- Prepare dough: Unroll the crescent rolls and gently press the seams together to form a single sheet. Cut the dough into 18 rectangles to fit into the mini muffin tin cups.
- Fill muffin tin: Place each dough rectangle into a cup of a mini muffin tin, allowing the dough to line the bottom and sides. Don’t worry if the dough doesn’t go all the way up the sides.
- Add cheese: Cut the brie cheese into 18 small pieces and place one piece into each dough-lined muffin cup.
- Top with cranberry sauce: Spoon about one teaspoon of homemade cranberry sauce on top of the brie cheese in each cup.
- Bake: Bake the cranberry brie bites for 12 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown and the cheese and cranberry sauce are bubbly and melted.
- Serve warm: Immediately remove the bites from the muffin tin and serve them warm to enjoy their gooey and crispy texture.
Notes
- These bites are ideal for holiday parties, easy date night appetizers, or casual get-togethers.
- You can substitute store-bought cranberry sauce if homemade is unavailable.
- Use a non-stick mini muffin tin or grease the cups lightly to prevent sticking.
- For added texture, sprinkle chopped nuts like pecans on top before baking.
- The recipe can be doubled easily for larger gatherings.
