Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a fun and festive appetizer that’s perfect for holiday gatherings or a cozy night in. These Cranberry Brie Bites are a delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors that will surely impress your guests. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

• store-bought phyllo dough (200g)
• brie cheese (150g)
• cranberry sauce (100g)
• honey (30ml)
• fresh thyme (10g)

Kitchen Tools:

• mini muffin tin
• pastry brush

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C). Take the store-bought phyllo dough and cut it into small squares to fit into the mini muffin tin. Gently press the dough into the tin to create a cup shape.

Next, cut the brie cheese into small cubes and place a piece in each phyllo cup. Top the brie with a spoonful of cranberry sauce and a drizzle of honey for a touch of sweetness.

Place the mini muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the phyllo dough is crispy and the brie is melted. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh thyme leaves for a pop of color and herbaceous flavor.

These Cranberry Brie Bites are best served warm, so be sure to enjoy them right away. The creamy brie, tart cranberry sauce, and flaky phyllo dough create a harmonious blend of textures and tastes that will leave your taste buds wanting more.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 400g, with around 12 servings. Each serving weighs about 33g, with an estimated calorie count of 80 per serving.

For an extra special touch, try sprinkling some chopped pecans on top before serving for added crunch and nuttiness. Enjoy these Cranberry Brie Bites with a glass of sparkling wine for a truly elegant appetizer experience.
