Ingredients
- 1 sheet crescent roll dough (or puff pastry)
- 6 oz brie cheese, rind on, cut into 24 small cubes
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce (whole berry preferred)
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- Fresh rosemary or thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin.
- Unroll crescent dough and cut into 24 even squares.
- Press each dough square into the mini muffin cups to form little crusts.
- Place a cube of brie into each cup.
- Top with about 1 teaspoon of cranberry sauce.
- Sprinkle with chopped nuts if using.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the dough is golden and brie is melted.
- Garnish with a small sprig of rosemary or thyme, if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- Swap cranberry sauce with raspberry or fig jam for a twist.
- Drizzle with honey for added sweetness.
- For a savory variation, use caramelized onions instead of cranberry.
- These are best served fresh but can be reheated in the oven.
- Assemble ahead and refrigerate, then bake just before serving.
