  • Total Time: 28 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8-ounce tube crescent roll dough
  • Flour for rolling out the dough
  • 6 ounces brie cheese
  • ¼ cup orange marmalade
  • ¼ cup whole cranberry sauce
  • ¼ cup chopped pistachios, pecans, or walnuts
  • Fresh rosemary or candied orange pieces for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 24-count mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Cut the brie cheese into small squares, about 1 inch or slightly less, and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Mix the orange marmalade and cranberry sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Lightly flour a flat surface, such as a cutting board, and roll out the crescent dough. Stretch slightly to form a rectangular shape, pinching seams together.
  • Cut the dough into 24 evenly sized squares.
  • Place each square into the greased mini muffin cups, pressing gently to form a cup shape.
  • Add a square of brie to each dough cup.
  • Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the orange-cranberry mixture over the brie.
  • Sprinkle chopped nuts on top and add a small sprig of rosemary or a candied orange piece as garnish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10–13 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  • Allow the bites to cool for 5–10 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

  • Advance Preparation: For making ahead, consider using puff pastry instead of crescent dough, as it holds up better when reheated.
  • Reheating: Place the bites on a baking sheet and warm them in a 350°F oven for a few minutes.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2–3 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months and reheat directly from frozen.
