Baked Brie Bites Ingredients
- Crescent Rolls: Buy a tube of crescent rolls or a crescent dough sheet.
- Brie: You’ll need one wheel of brie.
- Jam: I used this sugar plum jam for these brie bites. The sweet plums have a hint of citrus and spice and pair perfectly with the brie. You can use any jam you wish!
- Nuts: Chop a quarter cup of pecans.
How to Make Baked Brie Bites
- Crescent Dough: Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface. If using the rolls, pinch the seams together. Cut the dough into 24 squares and place them into a greased mini muffin tin.
- Assemble the Bites: Cut the brie into small pieces and place them inside the dough. Top with a half teaspoon each of jam and chopped pecans.
- Bake the brie bites at 350°F for 12 to 15 minutes.
Do you take the rind off brie before baking?
Yes, you can keep the rind on the brie. There’s no need to remove it before cutting the cheese.
Variations
- Jam: These baked brie bites would also be good with raspberry, strawberry, or fig jam.
- Cranberry: Instead of jam, use cranberry sauce.
- Nuts: Swap pecans with walnuts.
- Herbs: Add fresh rosemary or thyme leaves on top.
How to Prep
This brie bites recipe can be prepped a day ahead if you’re serving them for a party.
- Cover the muffin tin with foil and refrigerate.
- The next day before your event, remove the tray from the refrigerator while you preheat the oven.
- Then bake as directed and serve warm.
Storage
If you have leftover appetizers, store them in the fridge for up to four days and reheat them in the microwave.
