Brie Bites
Brie Bites are a delicious and easy holiday appetizer made with puff pastry, Brie cheese, cranberry sauce, and pecans.
Equipment
- mini muffin pans
- oven
- baking sheet
- fork
Ingredients
- 2 sheets frozen puff pastry thawed overnight in the refrigerator
- 8 ounces Brie cheese
- 1 cup Homemade Cranberry Sauce or whole berry cranberry sauce or jam of choice
- 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt such as Maldon or fleur de sel
- ½ cup finely chopped raw pecans
- 4 springs fresh rosemary cut into 6 pieces
Instructions
- Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 375°F. Place the Brie in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up. Coat 2, 24-cup mini muffin pans generously with nonstick spray.
- Unroll 1 sheet of puff pastry on a floured surface. Roll into a 10 x 14-inch rectangle and cut into 24 squares. Press squares into muffin tins and prick bottoms with a fork.
- Cut Brie in half, place one half in the freezer, and dice the other half into 24 pieces. Place one piece in each cup, top with cranberry sauce, sprinkle with salt and half of the chopped pecans. Repeat with second sheet of pastry and remaining ingredients.
- Place muffin pans on a baking sheet and bake for 18 to 20 minutes until pastry is puffed and golden. Let cool for 3 minutes, and use a fork to scoot any overflow back into the cups.
- Transfer bites to a serving plate and garnish each with a piece of fresh rosemary. Serve hot or at room temperature.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake at 350°F until warmed through. Can also freeze and reheat from frozen.
