Description

Whip up these easy and delicious Cranberry Brie Bites, a perfect blend of creamy cheese, tangy cranberry, and crunchy pecans!


Ingredients

Scale

1 (8-ounce) cylinder of light and flaky crescent dough

Your preferred brand of cooking spray, for prepping the pan

All-purpose flour, for dusting your work surface

1 (8-ounce) wheel of luxurious brie cheese

1/2 cup of vibrant whole berry cranberry sauce

1/4 cup of crunchy, chopped pecans

6 aromatic rosemary sprigs, each carefully trimmed to 1-inch pieces.


Instructions

Step 1: Start your culinary adventure by firing up the oven to a toasty 375°F. While it’s warming up, grab your trusty mini muffin tin and mist it with a fine layer of your favorite cooking spray. Now, it’s dough time! Unroll your crescent dough on a surface lightly dusted with flour. Firmly press together any seams you see, ensuring a seamless dough. Slice this beauty into 24 even squares and nestle each piece into the slots of your prepared muffin tin.

Step 2: Slice your wheel of brie cheese into generous bite-sized pieces. Tuck these creamy treasures into the awaiting dough squares. Following the cheese, layer on a dollop of your whole berry cranberry sauce, adding a pop of color and a burst of sweet-tangy flavor. Now, for a touch of crunch, scatter a few chopped pecans over the cranberry sauce. To finish, grace each bite with a charming sprig of rosemary.

Step 3: Once your assembly is complete, escort your tin to the oven. Allow the bites to bask in the heat until the dough takes on a lovely golden hue and the brie cheese creates creamy pools, this should be approximately 15 minutes.

Notes

Adapting the Cranberry Brie Bites Recipe for a Gluten-Free Diet:

To transform these Cranberry Brie Bites into a gluten-free version you’ll need to swap out the crescent dough with a gluten-free alternative. Following these steps can help you:

Gluten-Free Dough: Look for free crescent dough or puff pastry, in stores as they can be substituted directly for the regular dough. If you’re unable to find them consider making your gluten dough at home. Here is how (Gluten Free All Purpose Dough Ready in 10 Minutes) by Lama from tastegreatfoodie)

Verify Your Ingredients: Double-check that all other components, such as cooking spray and cranberry sauce are explicitly labeled as gluten-free. Certain brands might include additives that contain gluten.

Remember it’s essential to prevent cross-contamination with gluten-containing products whenever you’re preparing food for individuals, with disease or gluten sensitivity. Thoroughly clean your surfaces and utensils. If possible utilize gluten-free tools and appliances.
