Cranberry Brie Bites

These simple but elegant Cranberry Brie Bites are the perfect appetizer. The crust is made with a wonton wrapper and the filling is just two ingredients. These hand held appetizers are easy to serve and the first thing to go!

Ingredients for Cranberry Brie Bites

• Wonton wrappers – these can be found in the international section refrigerator department.
• Brie Cheese – cut into small pieces. NOTE: I find freezing the cheese for 15 minutes makes this a much easier job.
• Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce – make sure it is whole berry. Jellied will melt and not stay thick after baked.
• Fresh Rosemary for garnish.

Can you substitute the wonton wrapper for another dough –

• Yes. Puffed pastry and crescent roll dough both work. Cut into small squares and press into the mini muffin tin. It is not necessary to pre-cook the dough. Simply fill and bake.,

What type of muffin tin do I use –

• We used a mini muffin tin which works perfectly for a bite size appetizer. However you can use a regular size muffin tin. You will need to fill them with a bit more brie and sauce so you may want to double your ingredients.

Do I need to pre-cook my wonton wrapper for mini appetizers –

• No, it is not necessary to prebake and in fact it can make your wrapper dried. If using cold fillings then yes, prebake but for anything that bakes up in 10-12 minutes prebaking is not necessary.

How to make Cranberry Brie Bites

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a mini cupcake pan with non stick spray.

While the oven is preheating put the brie cheese in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. This makes cutting much easier.

Press one wonton wrapper into each container and gently press into the cup.

Dice the brie into small pieces.

Add several small pieces of brie to each wonton. Top with a teaspoon full of whole cranberry sauce.

Use Whole Cranberry Sauce, not the jellied version as it will thin out when baked.
