With just 3 ingredients these Baked Brie Bites are incredibly easy to make. The combination is so good! We used to have these and pigs in blankets every Christmas Eve when we’d go to my sister-in-law’s house. Jordan was too 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!

3 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.

Storing & Make Ahead

  1. What size is the wedge of Brie you used?
    I’ve found 4 oz and 7 oz. I’m ready to make your recipe as soon as I know how much cheese to use!!

      1. Thank you so much. I’m excited to make these. Sweet, salty, and the tang of fruit! Love it!

  2. 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
