BAKED BRIE BITES

Melted Brie cheese wrapped in a warm pastry hug. A crowd pleaser every year, these little appetizers are quick, easy and so versatile you can make them how YOU please.

Serve fresh out of the oven or at room temperature on a platter with grapes, fig, pear or apple slices, walnuts, almonds, pecans, jams, cold meats and crackers. If you have a big party to host, feel free to double the recipe and make more!

HOW TO MAKE BAKED BRIE BITES

Lightly dust your work bench with flour before starting.

If using Crescent Roll Dough: roll pastry out into a 10 x 14-inch rectangle and pinch seams together. Cut lengthwise into 6 even strips, then crosswise into 4 even strips. You should have 24 squares. Separate and press each square of pastry gently into each muffin cup.

For Puff Pastry: Use 2 sheets of semi-thawed puff pastry. Semi-thawed is much easier to cut and less tacky. Cut each pastry sheet lengthwise into 3 even strips, then crosswise into 4 even strips. You should hend up with 12 pieces per puff pastry sheet (24 in total).

Brie: Make sure to cut the Brie into 24 equal pieces (about 3/4-inch or 2cm pieces). They need to be a generous size as the brie disappears into the pastry while it bakes if the pieces are too small. Including the the rind is absolutely fine. Save yourself the hassle of peeling it before baking because it IS edible. You won’t know the difference once it’s baked into your gooey pastry cups.

Top with fillings as noted in the recipe box below. Feel free to add/change each flavour to suit your tastes!

MAKE BRIE BITES AHEAD OF TIME

Assemble them one day ahead, refrigerate, then bake in the oven right before serving.

Or, prepare them up to 3 days ahead; wrap them in plastic wrap, store in the refrigerator and pop them in the oven just before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

TIPS FOR INCREDIBLE BAKED BRIE BITES

  • If you don’t have crescent dough, you can use mini phyllo cups, Pillsbury croissant dough, 2 puff pastry sheets or an 8-oz (250 g) ball of pizza dough.
  • Be sure to grease your muffin tin really well.
  • Try not to fill each cup to the top with preserves as they may overflow while baking. 1/2 – 1 teaspoon is the perfect amount.
  • You can use different types of preserves like orange marmalade, fig, raspberry or strawberry instead of apricot and cranberry.

    I’m going to try puff pastry squares, top with slivers of jalapeño peppers, top with square of cheddar cheese and bake!

    The Brie Bites were a ‘hit’! I made 2 kinds earlier in the day, popped them in the refrigerator, took them out 30 minutes before the party and served them at room temperature. They are going to be my ‘go-to’ app to bring to events. As always, your recipes are delicious!

    I’ll make the Brie bites on New Year’s Eve. Better than the full round Brie bakes —they get so messy. Thanks!!
