How to Make Cranberry Brie Bites

Ingredients you’ll need for this recipe

1, 14 oz can Ocean’s Spray Cranberry Sauce
¼ cup orange juice
1 Tbsp fresh orange zest
¼ cup sugar
¼ tsp cinnamon
1, 8 oz tube crescent dough
1, 8 oz wheel of Brie
1 Tbsp fresh thyme

Step by Step Guide

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 24-count mini muffin tin with cooking spray. Set it aside.

2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the cranberry sauce, orange juice, orange zest, sugar, and cinnamon. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens up nicely.

3. Roll out the crescent dough onto a piece of parchment paper or a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough into 24 even squares—don’t worry, they don’t have to be perfect! Place each piece into a slot of the muffin tin.

4. Cut the Brie into small pieces and place one in each dough-filled muffin cup. The creamy, melty Brie is the star of the show!

5. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of your cranberry sauce on top of each piece of Brie. The sweet and tangy sauce pairs perfectly with the rich, creamy cheese.

6. Sprinkle a pinch of fresh thyme on each bite for an extra pop of flavor. It adds a lovely herby note that complements the Brie and cranberry.

7. Pop the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden and the Brie is melted to perfection.

8. Serve these delicious bites immediately while they’re warm and gooey. Watch them disappear as your guests come back for seconds (and thirds)!

And there you have it! These Cranberry Brie Bites are not only easy to whip up, but they also deliver big on flavor. The combination of tart cranberry, creamy Brie, and fresh thyme on buttery crescent dough is the kind of appetizer that gets everyone talking. Perfect for any occasion, these bites will become a holiday staple you’ll look forward to making every year!
