Cranberry Cheese Bites Recipes

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:

• In large saucepan, heat cranberries, jelly, sugar, water and pepper flakes to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring often. Reduce heat; simmer 10 to 15 minutes, stirring often, until cranberry skins begin to split and mixture begins to thicken. Remove from heat; stir in chopped rosemary. Cool completely, about 45 minutes.
• Heat oven to 350°F. Spread pecans in ungreased shallow pan. Bake uncovered 6 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until light brown.
• Increase oven temperature to 375°F. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. Place phyllo shells on cookie sheet; place 1 cheese cube in each shell. Bake 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Top with 1/2 teaspoon cranberry mixture, 1 toasted pecan half and 1 rosemary leaf. Serve immediately.

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.
