The Well Plated Cookbook is now available! These EASY Baked Brie Bites are the ultimate make-ahead holiday appetizer and will wow your guests! Made with puff pastry, Brie cheese, cranberry, and pecans. The fabulously festive, outrageously easy, ooh and ahhh-worthy appetizer that will lead fig and brie to wonder why you’d fuss with any other appetizer ever again: EASY Brie Bites!
Melty pieces of Brie cheese tucked inside personally-sized pieces of golden, buttery puff pastry, then topped with cranberry sauce, pecans, and a sprig of rosemary for festive color, these tasty morsels are a total show stealer. This easy Brie bites are the low-maintenance version of my mini Cranberry Brie Bites, which are essentially like bite-sized versions of a wheel of Brie wrapped in puff pastry. They are delicious but labor intensive. Instead of making little pockets of puff pastry, you cut the pastry sheets into squares, then tuck the squares into mini muffin tins. In 18 to 20 minutes, your stunning appetizer is ready to serve. With only a few simple ingredients, these Brie Bites with cranberry and puff pastry are the perfect make ahead dish! They’re delicious as Thanksgiving or Christmas appetizers!
Over the last two weeks, we’ve attended a cache of holiday parties, and I have brought some version of these tasty Brie bites to every single one of them. I’ll make something else this time! I find myself right back here. These brie bites wow the crowd each time I make them.
