Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) crescent roll dough
- 4 ounces (113 grams) brie cheese
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) cranberry sauce
Seasonings and Additional Flavors:
- Garnish or optional ingredients (if any from original recipe)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking surface with parchment paper or a silicone mat, ensuring easy release of the delicate pastry bites.
- Transform the crescent roll dough into a smooth, seamless canvas by rolling it out on a lightly floured surface, carefully pressing together any visible divisions to create a uniform sheet.
- Craft a precise grid by slicing the dough into 24 symmetrical squares, creating a foundation for these elegant appetizers.
- Construct each bite by nestling a petite cube of creamy brie at the center of each dough square, then crown it with a dollop of vibrant cranberry sauce.
- Carefully gather the dough’s opposite corners, gently pinching and folding them toward the center to create delicate parcels that encapsulate the luscious filling.
- Arrange the assembled bites on the prepared baking surface, allowing sufficient space between each morsel for even browning and expansion.
- Slide the tray into the preheated oven and bake for 11-13 minutes, watching for a golden, puffy transformation that signals perfect doneness.
- Upon removal, quickly assess any escaped cheese and gently nudge it back into the bites while still warm, preserving the integrity of these delectable morsels.
- Allow the cranberry brie bites to cool slightly before serving, letting the molten cheese and tangy cranberry sauce settle into a harmonious blend of flavors.
Notes
- Perfectly portioned crescent roll dough transforms simple ingredients into elegant nibbles that will impress guests at any gathering.
- Quick and easy preparation means you can whip up these delectable morsels in under 30 minutes, making them ideal for last-minute entertaining or spontaneous snacking.
