Print Recipe

These cranberry brie bites are a quick and easy festive appetizer made with canned biscuits, brie cheese, and cranberry sauce. They’re perfect for holiday gatherings and are loved by both kids and adults.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuits (like Pillsbury Grands), homestyle or buttermilk
  • 1 wheel (8 oz) brie cheese, ripe and soft
  • ½ cup cranberry sauce (whole berry or jellied)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Flaky sea salt (optional, for finishing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 24-cup mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Open the can of biscuits and separate all 8 biscuits. Cut each biscuit into 6 pieces (cut in half, then each half into thirds) to get 48 small pieces.
  3. Press one biscuit piece into each muffin cup, shaping it into a small cup that comes up the sides about halfway.
  4. Cut the brie into 48 small cubes, about ½ inch each. Remove the rind if desired, or leave it on for texture.
  5. Place one brie cube into each biscuit cup, pressing it down gently.
  6. Spoon about ½ teaspoon of cranberry sauce on top of each brie cube.
  7. Sprinkle a pinch of chopped rosemary over each bite (optional).
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the biscuit edges are golden brown and the brie is melted and bubbly.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 2 minutes. Use a small spoon or offset spatula to gently lift the bites out.
  10. Transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt if using. Serve warm.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature brie for even melting. Don’t overfill the biscuit cups with cranberry sauce to avoid sogginess. Let the bites cool in the pan for 2 minutes to set before removing. These are best served within 15 minutes of baking. To make ahead, prep the biscuit cups and brie cubes separately and assemble right before baking.
