Time 55m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large egg
One 8-ounce wheel Brie
One 17.25-ounce package frozen puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/3 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce
1/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together the egg with 1 tablespoon of water in a small bowl for an egg wash. Cut the side rind off the Brie, then cut the Brie into 32 even pieces. Set aside.
  • Unfold a puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll out into a 13-inch square. Cut into 16 squares. Repeat with the second sheet so you have 32 squares total.
  • Top a pastry square with about 1/2 teaspoon cranberry sauce, 1/4 teaspoon walnuts, a piece of Brie and a pinch of thyme.
  • Use your finger or a pastry brush to brush the edges of the pastry square with egg wash until lightly coated and tacky. Pinch 2 opposite points together, then pinch the remaining 2 points together so that you have a little package. Repeat with the remaining pastry squares and filling.
  • Transfer the pouches to the prepared baking sheets and brush with the remaining egg wash. Bake until puffed and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

Categories     HarperCollins     Hors D'Oeuvre     Christmas     Thanksgiving     Winter     Brie     Cranberry     Maple Syrup     Vegetarian

Yield Makes about 16 bites

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups fresh cranberries
1 cup good maple syrup
1 cup granulated sugar
16 water crackers (such as Carr's)
8 ounces brie cheese
1/2 cup cranberry chutney or cranberry relish
Fresh mint, for garnish

Steps:

  • Rinse the cranberries and place in a medium bowl. Heat the syrup in a small saucepan until just warm. Pour over the cranberries. (Make sure the syrup is warm, not hot, or the cranberries may pop.) Gently stir with a spoon to coat all the berries. Cool, cover, and let soak in the refrigerator overnight.
  • The next day drain the cranberries in a colander. Place the sugar in a large bowl or baking dish. Add half of the cranberries and roll them around until lightly coated in sugar; repeat with the other half. Place on a baking sheet and let dry, about 1 hour.
  • To assemble, top the crackers with one slice of Brie, a light layer of cranberry chutney, and four or five sugared cranberries. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of crackers. This will add different textures and flavors to your bites.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheese. Brie is a classic, but you could also try goat cheese, cheddar, or blue cheese.
  • Add some sweetness with fruit. Cranberries are a great choice, but you could also use raspberries, blueberries, or figs.
  • Get creative with your toppings. Nuts, seeds, and herbs can all add flavor and texture to your bites.
  • Make sure your cheese is cold before you assemble your bites. This will help them hold their shape.
  • Serve your bites immediately. They're best when they're fresh.

Conclusion:

Cranberry brie holiday bites are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any holiday party. They're made with just a few simple ingredients, and they can be assembled in minutes. With their sweet and savory flavors, these bites are sure to be a hit with your guests.
