Cranberry Brie Bites

Y’all, these Cranberry Brie Bites are warm, melty, and gone in two bites! ✨ They’re the easiest holiday appetizer to set out for Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving or a Christmas party.

Mini phyllo cups go right on a baking sheet. Each one gets a cube of brie, a little spoonful of cranberry sauce, and a few chopped pecans if you like. They bake for just a few minutes until the brie is melted and bubbly, then get a tiny sprig of fresh rosemary on top.

With store-bought phyllo cups, there’s no dough to make. Just fill, bake and serve warm.

How to Make It

These come together in just a few minutes. Set the mini phyllo cups on a baking sheet and drop a cube of brie into each one. Spoon about a teaspoon of cranberry sauce over each cube of cheese, and add a few chopped pecans if you’re using them. Slide the pan into a 375°F oven and bake until the brie is melted and bubbly. Top each bite with a tiny sprig of fresh rosemary and serve them warm, right off the tray. Set them out on a platter at your Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving or Christmas party and watch them disappear. They’re small, they’re pretty, and they’re so easy to make. That’s a holiday win in my book!

Tips for the Best Cranberry Brie Bites

• Cube the brie cold. Brie is easier to cut into neat cubes straight from the fridge.
• Don’t overfill. About 1 teaspoon of cranberry sauce per cup is plenty.
• Watch for bubbly brie. Bake at 375°F for 12 to 15 minutes, until the brie is melted and bubbly.
• Serve warm. They’re best right out of the oven, with a tiny sprig of rosemary on top.
