Brie Cranberry And Prosciutto Bites Recipes

CRANBERRY BRIE BITES

Steps:

• Place Brie cheese in the freezer for 20 minutes. Oil a mini muffin pan with cooking spray.
• Roll 1 puff pastry sheet out into a 10x14-inch rectangle. Cut the sheet lengthwise into 4 even strips and crosswise into 6 even strips; there should be 24 squares. Separate and press them gently into the muffin cups.
• Cut chilled Brie cheese into 24 pieces approximately 3/4-inch in size. Add 1 teaspoon cranberry sauce to each pastry-lined muffin cup; press in 1 piece of Brie and top with 1 teaspoon of chopped walnuts. Sprinkle bites with sea salt. Chill for at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Bake bites in the preheated oven until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes.

PHYLLO BAKED BRIE BITES WITH CRANBERRY AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.
• Cut some of the rind off of your brie. Then, cube the brie into 1 inch squares and place in phyllo cups on a nonstick cookie sheet.
• Cut a slice of prosciutto and elegantly roll it and place it on top of the brie.
• If you prefer a tart appetizer, top it with a whole fresh cranberry. If you'd prefer it to be less tart, just use a half of cranberry, that's been tossed in lemon juice and sugar.
• Tuck in a bit of fresh thyme, then bake in the oven for about 13-15 minutes.
• You'll know they are done when the cheese is melty, the prosciutto starts to crisp a bit and the cranberry begins to blister.
• Finally, add a drizzle of honey to the top of your phyllo appetizer and serve!

CRANBERRY BRIE BITES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk together the egg with 1 tablespoon of water in a small bowl for an egg wash. Cut the side rind off the Brie, then cut the Brie into 32 even pieces. Set aside.
• Unfold a puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll out into a 13-inch square. Cut into 16 squares. Repeat with the second sheet so you have 32 squares total.
• Top a pastry square with about 1/2 teaspoon cranberry sauce, 1/4 teaspoon walnuts, a piece of Brie and a pinch of thyme.
• Use your finger or a pastry brush to brush the edges of the pastry square with egg wash until lightly coated and tacky. Pinch 2 opposite points together, then pinch the remaining 2 points together so that you have a little package. Repeat with the remaining pastry squares and filling.
• Transfer the pouches to the prepared baking sheets and brush with the remaining egg wash. Bake until puffed and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
