Whether you’re hosting a party or just want a tasty snack, these little bites are sure to impress your guests. They are quick to make and bursting with flavor in every bite.
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces crescent roll dough
- 4 ounces brie cheese
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone mat. If using a mini muffin pan, lightly spray it with oil to prevent sticking.
- Roll out the dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll the crescent roll dough into a single sheet, about 12 inches long and 8 inches wide. Pinch together any seams in the dough to form a smooth, continuous sheet.
- Cut into squares. Slice the dough into 24 equal-sized squares by creating a 6×4 grid.
- Assemble the bites. Place a small cube of brie (about 1 cubic centimeter) in the center of each square. Add 1/2 teaspoon of cranberry sauce on top of the cheese.
- Seal and bake. Fold the opposite corners of each dough square toward the center and pinch the edges to seal. Transfer the assembled bites to the prepared baking sheet or mini muffin pan.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and puffed. If any cheese has melted out during baking, you can scoop it back into the bites while they are still warm or serve them as is.
Recipe Notes:
- Make Ahead: You can assemble these bites in advance and store them in the refrigerator. Bake them just before serving for the freshest flavor.
- Variations: Try adding a sprinkle of chopped nuts or fresh herbs for extra texture and flavor.
