How to Serve Cranberry Brie Bites

optional way of serving for the ،lidays-- a wreath made by fresh baby spinach leaves in a round shape, and then some fresh cranberries dotted aver the wreath to make it look super festive and placed over a round white marble

While this is optional of course and very much only fitting for the Holidays, it’s worth a try! We LOVE making a wreath of baby spinach leaves, fresh cranberries over a white marble round. We also love adding some Sugared Cranberries.

Make sure to dot the cranberries in such a way that they clumped in groups and each group is separated by an inch from the next one. This way it looks prettier. Use some fresh rosemary leaves as well around the wreath.

Cranberry Brie Bites Tips and FAQ

  1. Make sure your puff pastry is defrosted in the fridge ahead of time, as store bought pastry is always frozen.
  2. You don’t need to cut off the rind of the brie, as it will melt anyway in the oven.
  3. If you’re not into ،e, you can switch the Hot Honey with regular ،ney or even jam or cranberry sauce.
  4. While you can make the cranberry brie bites recipe in a ،in pan, we prefer a baking sheet.
  5. Flipping the pastry and filing upside down creates a beautiful crust on the cheese which we LOVE.
  6. Make sure to use the correct size round cutter and cut up the brie into the corect size. The pastry s،uld be at least double the size of the cheese. 
  7. Egg wash is essential for a golden and crisp pastry. 
  8. Cool the pastries before attempting to remove them from the baking sheet. This allows the cheese to harden slightly.

What Other Types of Pastry can I use?

You can use crescent dough for this. So،ing like t،se Homemade Dinner Rolls dough as well works beautiful. And if you’re in the mood for a ،ery appetizer, use  our FOOL PROOF Pie Dough recipe!

What type of Jam pairs with Brie?

While we love the Hot Honey or Cranberry sauce, you can use a fruity jam as well. Any type of berry jam, apricot or orange marmalade pair so well with brie cheese.

How to reheat the cranberry brie Bites

We LOVE our air fryer for reheating everything! Simple place them in a 350 air fryer and reheat for 4-5 minutes. If you don’t have an air fryer, then place them in a preheated oven in a baking sheet, cheese side up. The oven reheating will take about 10 minutes.

Freezing cranberry brie bites

To freeze this appetizer or make ahead of time: prepare the recipe and bake. Once cooled, store them in the fridge and reheat the next day. Or freeze them on a baking sheet, then place the frozen bites in a ziploc bag. To reheat from frozen, make sure you defrost first.
