Create elegant, stress-free Holiday Cranberry Brie Bites. These appetizers offer the perfect sweet-tart cranberry flavor combined with creamy, melted brie, wrapped in a flaky pastry shell. They are simple to assemble and always impress your guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (14.1 ounces) refrigerated pie crusts (2 count)
  • 1 wheel (8 ounces) brie cheese, rind removed and cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin pan.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the cranberry sauce, sugar, and lemon juice. This creates your sweet-tart topping.
  3. Unroll the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Use a 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut out circles from the dough. You should get about 18-20 circles per crust.
  4. Gently press each dough circle into the cups of the prepared mini muffin pan.
  5. Place one cube of brie cheese into the bottom of each pastry cup.
  6. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cranberry mixture over the brie in each cup. Do not overfill.
  7. Brush the edges of the pastry dough lightly with the beaten egg wash.
  8. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Let the bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully removing them with a small offset spatula. Serve warm.

Notes

  • If you prefer a slightly sharper flavor, use a mix of brie and cream cheese.
  • You can prepare the cranberry topping up to two days ahead and store it in the refrigerator.
  • For an extra festive look, sprinkle a tiny pinch of coarse sugar over the topping before baking.
  • Ensure the brie is cold when you cube it; this makes cutting easier.
