Print Recipe

These cranberry brie bites are the perfect quick and easy appetizer for any gathering. With just five ingredients and under 25 minutes, you can create a crowd-pleasing treat that combines flaky phyllo, creamy brie, tangy cranberry sauce, and a hint of honey and rosemary.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 packages (15 count each) frozen mini phyllo tart shells
  • 8 ounces brie cheese, rind removed and cut into small cubes (about ½-inch pieces)
  • ½ cup whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the frozen phyllo tart shells on a baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between each shell.
  2. Using a small sharp knife, carefully cut the rind off the brie cheese. Cut the brie into small cubes, about ½-inch each.
  3. Place one or two small cubes of brie into each phyllo shell, filling the shell about halfway.
  4. Spoon about ½ teaspoon of cranberry sauce on top of the brie in each shell. Gently press the cranberry sauce down so it sits evenly on top of the cheese.
  5. Drizzle a tiny amount of honey over each bite using a small spoon or squeeze bottle.
  6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the brie is melted and bubbly and the edges of the phyllo shells are golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet. Sprinkle the chopped fresh rosemary over the top while they’re still warm. Serve warm.

Notes

Don’t skip removing the rind from the brie for best texture. If using jellied cranberry sauce, break it up with a fork before spooning into cups. For a fun twist, swap cranberry sauce for fig jam or red pepper jelly. These are best served within 15 minutes of baking. To make ahead, assemble bites (without honey and rosemary) up to 4 hours in advance, refrigerate, then add honey and rosemary right before baking.
