Scale
Ingredients
- 1 (15 count) box of baked phyllo shells (1.9 ounces)
- 7 ounces brie cheese
- ⅓ cup cranberry sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the phyllo bites.
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup, then arrange the baked phyllo shells evenly on top.
- Slice the brie: Cut the brie into approximately 1-inch slices, ensuring each piece is small enough to fit nicely inside the phyllo shells without overflowing.
- Fill the shells: Place one slice of brie into each phyllo shell, making sure it fits snugly to melt evenly.
- Add cranberry sauce: Spoon about 1 teaspoon of cranberry sauce on top of each brie-filled shell for a burst of sweet and tart flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 5-8 minutes, or until the brie has melted and is bubbly.
- Cool and serve: Allow the bites to cool on the tray for about 4-5 minutes to set slightly before transferring them to a serving platter. Serve warm for best flavor.
Notes
- Use good quality brie for the best flavor and smooth melting.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute phyllo shells with gluten-free pastry shells.
- Try adding a sprinkle of chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts on top for texture.
- Serve these bites warm as they are best enjoyed when the cheese is gooey.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated in the oven.
