Ingredients
Crescent Roll Ingredients
- 1 ounce crescent roll dough tube
- 6 ounces Brie cheese
- 1/4 cup cranberry sauce
- 1/4 cup orange marmalade
- 1/4 cup pecans chopped
- rosemary optional, fresh sprigs
Fillo Shells Ingredients
- 1 count fillo shell mini, frozen, count package
- 1 ounce Brie cheese package
- 1 cup cranberries fresh
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar white
- rosemary optional, fresh sprigs
Instructions
Using Crescent Rolls
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray cooking spray onto a mini muffin pan.
- Add the whole cranberry sauce and orange marmalade to a bowl and mix until well combined. Set aside. Slice the brie cheese into small, 1-inch squares using a sharp knife (feel free to leave the rind on). Set aside.
- Roll out the crescent roll dough onto a floured surface (a clean countertop or cutting board works!). Use your fingers to press the perforated lines together so that the dough makes one large rectangle. Using a sharp knife, cut the crescent roll dough into 24 equally-sized squares. Gently press each square into the mini muffin pan molds.
- Add 1 cube of brie cheese, 1 tablespoon of cranberry-orange mixture, and a pinch of chopped pecans to each mini muffin.
- Bake the bites for 10-12 minutes, or until the dough is golden. Allow the bites to cool for about 10 minutes before removing from the mini muffin pan. Garnish each bite with a small sprig of rosemary. Serve and enjoy!
Cup of Yum
Using Fillo Cups
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. On an ungreased cookie sheet evenly place the fillo shells right side up, about one inch apart. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, combine the cranberries, water and sugar and stir. Top with a one inch piece of rosemary. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low. Stirring until the cranberries pop, then immediately remove from the heat and discard the rosemary. Set aside.
- Slice the brie into 15 pieces and distribute into the fillo shells.
- Bake in preheated oven for about 5 minutes or until the brie is smooth and melted. Remove from oven and place 3-5 cranberries in each fillo shell.
- Garnish with small sprig of rosemary, if desired and serve immediately.

- Crescent Bites will make 8 servings.
