CRESCENT BRIE BITES

 

Step-by-Step Method

1
Prep the dough cups
10 mins

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 24-count mini muffin pan with cooking spray. Unroll your crescent dough sheet flat onto a clean cutting board. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into 24 equal-sized squares. Gently press each dough square down into the cups of the mini muffin tin, letting the corners point upward.

2
Cube and nestle the cheese
5 mins

Cut your cold Brie wheel into 24 uniform, bite-sized cubes (roughly 3/4-inch each). Drop one cube of Brie directly into the center of each crescent dough cup.

3
Add the sweet and crunchy layers
2 mins

Spoon a small dollop (about 1/2 teaspoon) of your chosen fruit preserves right on top of each cube of cheese. Top each cup with a light sprinkle of chopped pecans or walnuts.

4
Bake to a bubbling gold
12-15 mins

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Watch for the crescent pastry edges to turn a deep, flaky golden brown and the Brie inside to become completely molten and bubbling. Remove from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes so the cheese can slightly set before you lift them out.

 

Gourmet Upgrades to Try

While the combination of brie and sweet jam is a timeless classic, this recipe acts as a blank canvas for seasonal variations. If you are baking these during the autumn or holiday season, try swapping the fruit preserves for a spoonful of whole-berry cranberry sauce and topping each cup with a tiny sprig of fresh rosemary. The piney aroma of the rosemary combines with the tart cranberry to create an instant holiday favorite that smells as incredible as it tastes
