Servings: 40
Ingredients
- 8 oz crescent dough, from refrigerated can
- 2 cups whole cranberry sauce, I use this recipe
- ½ lb Brie, cut into bite-sized cubes
- ½ cup roasted pistachios, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F with rack on lower middle.
- Roll out crescent dough to about 8.5 inches by 12 inches, with seams closed in. Cut dough into about 40 small 1" squares.
- Press squares firmly into the bottom and corners of a nonstick mini muffin pan.
- Bake 8-9 min or until edges are golden brown and puffy.
- Remove crusts from pan and place on serving platter. Immediately place brie cubes in center of warm crusts.
- Top with a spoonful of cranberry sauce, followed by a sprinkle of pistachios.
- Serve immediately and keep any extras on a tray in the warm oven - be careful that oven is not actually hot enough to burn them. Best served slightly warm.
Notes
- Note: These are meant for mini muffin cups, so they stay bite-sized.
- We usually get about 40 squares of cut dough, but the actual count can vary a bit.
- A pizza cutter wheel works well for cutting the dough.
- Cranberry sauce can be made several days in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or the freezer for even longer.
- This recipe is part of our Party Appetizers Collection.
- For an added burst of sweetness, try sprinkling these Candied Pecans onto Cranberry Brie Bites.
