Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 8 oz tube of crescent roll dough
- 6 oz Brie cheese
- ¼ cup cranberry sauce whole berry
- ¼ cup orange marmalade
- ¼ cup chopped nuts pistachios, pecans, or walnuts
- Flour for dusting
- Fresh rosemary or candied orange pieces for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Cut the brie into approximately 1-inch squares and place in the refrigerator until needed.
- In a small bowl, stir together the orange marmalade and cranberry sauce until well combined. Set aside.
- Dust a flat surface lightly with flour and roll out the crescent dough, stretching it gently to form an even rectangle. Pinch any seams to seal, then slice into 24 equal squares.
- Press each dough square into the prepared muffin cups, forming a small cup. Place a piece of brie in each dough cup, followed by about a teaspoon of the cranberry-orange mixture. Sprinkle with chopped nuts and garnish with a sprig of rosemary.
- Bake for 10–13 minutes, or until the crescent dough turns golden and is fully baked.
- Let the bites cool for 5–10 minutes, then serve warm.
Notes
- Make-Ahead Option: For advanced prep, consider using puff pastry instead of crescent dough, as it holds up better if made ahead and reheated.
- Reheating Instructions: To reheat, place the bites on a baking sheet in a 350°F oven for several minutes until warmed through.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2–3 days. Alternatively, freeze for up to 3 months and reheat directly from frozen at 350°F.
