Cranberry Brie Appetizer Bites Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
• Place pastry on a clean work surface and cut into 36 squares. Brush all squares with egg wash, then place one square on top of the other to make 18 stacks, each with 2 squares of pastry.
• Place on prepared sheet, about 2 inches apart, and bake until puffed and golden, about 13-15 minutes.
• Remove baking sheet from oven and top each puffed square with a piece of brie cheese. Return to oven and bake until cheese melts, about 3-5 minutes.
• Place on a serving platter and top each with a small spoonful of cranberry sauce and a small sprig of thyme for garnish.

Steps:

• Place Brie cheese in the freezer for 20 minutes. Oil a mini muffin pan with cooking spray.
• Roll 1 puff pastry sheet out into a 10x14-inch rectangle. Cut the sheet lengthwise into 4 even strips and crosswise into 6 even strips; there should be 24 squares. Separate and press them gently into the muffin cups.
• Cut chilled Brie cheese into 24 pieces approximately 3/4-inch in size. Add 1 teaspoon cranberry sauce to each pastry-lined muffin cup; press in 1 piece of Brie and top with 1 teaspoon of chopped walnuts. Sprinkle bites with sea salt. Chill for at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Bake bites in the preheated oven until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Thaw puffy pastry sheet flat. Cut puff pastry sheet into approximately 3-inch squares and place them into mini muffin tins, pressing them into the shape of the muffin hole. Place a 1-inch slice of brie in the center of each puff pastry and then top it with approximately 1 tablespoon of cranberry sauce.
• Bake 10 minutes or until puff pastry corners are toasted light brown. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Spray 24 miniature muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray.
• Combine sugar and water in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil.
• Add cranberries; return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer about 3 to 4 minutes or until cranberries pop and mixture thickens slightly, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from heat; stir in lemon juice and peel.
• Press 1 wonton wrapper gently into each muffin cup, allowing ends to extend above.
• Spray edges of wonton wrappers with nonstick cooking spray.
• Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until bottoms of cups are beginning to brown.
• Place 1 cube of Brie in each cup; place sheet of aluminum foil over each pan to prevent excessive browning.
• Bake 3 to 5 minutes or until Brie is soft.
• Remove from oven; top each with about 1 teaspoon cranberry mixture.
• Serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk together the egg with 1 tablespoon of water in a small bowl for an egg wash. Cut the side rind off the Brie, then cut the Brie into 32 even pieces. Set aside.
• Unfold a puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll out into a 13-inch square. Cut into 16 squares. Repeat with the second sheet so you have 32 squares total.
• Top a pastry square with about 1/2 teaspoon cranberry sauce, 1/4 teaspoon walnuts, a piece of Brie and a pinch of thyme.
• Use your finger or a pastry brush to brush the edges of the pastry square with egg wash until lightly coated and tacky. Pinch 2 opposite points together, then pinch the remaining 2 points together so that you have a little package. Repeat with the remaining pastry squares and filling.
• Transfer the pouches to the prepared baking sheets and brush with the remaining egg wash. Bake until puffed and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
