Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
- If you don't have a muffin tin, you can use a mini cupcake pan. Just be sure to grease the pan before baking.
- You can use any type of brie cheese you like. If you want a milder flavor, use a triple-cream brie. If you want a more robust flavor, use a cave-aged brie.
- Be sure to let the bites cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the cheese to set and the cranberries to firm up.
Conclusion:
These sparkling cranberry and brie bites are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover cranberries from Thanksgiving or Christmas. With their sweet and tangy flavor, these bites are sure to be a hit with your guests.
