Baked Brie Bites with Cranberry
With just 3 ingredients these bites pack a punch and are more than good and they’re incredibly easy. The ingredients may seem like an odd pairing to some, but trust me, this combination works better than anything!
We used to have these every Christmas Eve when we’d go to my sister-in-law’s house. Jordan was to nervous to try them until last year – and she fell in love. She now requests them at every event, always. Plus – you can’t go wrong with cheese and puff pastry!
Ingredients Needed
- Frozen Puff Pastry: Let it thaw according to the box directions. You can substitute crescent rolls in a pinch.
- Brie: When it melts it’s so good! I remove the rind of the brie by scraping it off with a butter knife.
- Cranberry Sauce: Mixes great with the brie! You can also use jam or jelly.
How to make Brie Bites
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray mini muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray. Unwrap thawed puff pastry. Working on one sheet at a time, unroll it and slice into 12 pieces.
- Place one piece of pastry in the bottom and up the sides of each mini muffin pan. Repeat with second puff pastry sheet, making 24 cups.
- If desired, scrape the white rind off your brie with a butter knife. Slice your brie into 24 small pieces and place one small piece in each puff pastry cup.
- Top with about ½ -1 teaspoon cranberry sauce. Bake until puffed and golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Serve warm or room temperature.

- Make these ahead of your event to avoid the stress day of!
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

- You can freeze them baked or unbaked for up to a month. Thaw before baking or re-heating.
These sound really terrific – we’re all “cheese hounds,” so this is right up our alley and I’ll be trying this very soon! Have you ever tried making these with aged cheddar and a chutney or red pepper jelly? Or any other cheese and sauce/condiment combination?
cheers, El
I think any combination would work – use your fav cheese/topping!
