Recipe notes and expert tips

  • Spray
    It’s important to spray your mini muffin pan, you don’t want your bites to stick to the pan.
  • Dough
    We’ve used crescent dough, but feel free to use puff pastry squares.

How to store leftover cranberry brie bites

Store any leftover cranberry brie bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. 

Freeze for up to three months and cook from frozen.

Can I freeze cranberry brie bites?

Yes, you can. You can store them in a freezer container for up to three months. 

When you are ready to serve them, simply reheat the frozen bites at 375F/190C for approximately 10 – 12 minutes. 

Do you eat the rind on brie cheese?

Yes, you can eat the rind on brie cheese, we love it.

But if you’re not so keen on it, simply remove it (but there’s no need to.)

Substitutions

You don’t have to use brie (but it is deliciously creamy) you could substitute with goat cheese if you prefer.

Substitute walnuts for chopped pecans or chopped pistachios.

Switch cranberry sauce for pepper jelly or fig jam.

Can I use store bought cranberry sauce?

Sure you can! In fact, because we wanted this to be a quick and easy recipe, we used store bought cranberry sauce!

Obviously, if you have the time, then homemade cranberry sauce will always be better, but reality bites, and we don’t all get time to make it from scratch!
