- 2 sheets phyllo dough slightly thawed
- 8 ounces Brie cheese cut into 1" bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup cranberry sauce
- 5 sprigs rosemary
- 1/4 cup pecans chopped
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Spray a mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
On a lightly floured surface, unfold the semi-thawed phyllo dough sheets. Gently roll out the phyllo dough to soften the creases so you can cut uniform pieces. Use a pizza cutter to cut each sheet into 9 squares.
To assemble the brie bites, place each phyllo square in the greased mini muffin tins. Add a piece of Brie and about 1 tablespoon of cranberry sauce. Top with a sprinkle of chopped pecans, then place the entire muffin pan onto a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
Once baked, take the pan out of the oven and remove the Brie Bites from the muffin tins while still warm. Garnish each piece with a small sprig of rosemary if desired, then serve immediately. Enjoy!
- Storing leftovers: store baked Brie bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freezing: freeze flat on a sheet tray for about 30 minutes before storing frozen in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
- To reheat: place back into muffin tins and reheat in a preheated 350 degree oven until warm.
- Make-ahead: you can prepare this recipe up to 2 days in advance, then cover and store in the fridge. When you are ready to bake, pull the pan from the fridge while you preheat the oven and bake as directed.
- Substitutions: You can also use 2 Crescent Roll cans or 2 sheets of puff pastry in place of the phyllo dough.
