Description
Festive and fuss-free, these creamy, tart, and crisp bites come together in just minutes using pre-made phyllo shells and brie. Perfect for holiday parties and potlucks.
Ingredients
24 mini phyllo shells
8 ounces brie cheese (rind on), cut into 24 small cubes
1/2 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce (store-bought or homemade)
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons chopped roasted pecans
1 teaspoon fresh orange zest
Pinch kosher salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange phyllo shells on a baking sheet.
Place one cube of brie into each phyllo shell.
Top each with about 1 teaspoon of cranberry sauce.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the brie is melted and phyllo edges are golden and crisp.
Remove from oven and immediately drizzle with honey.
Sprinkle with chopped pecans, orange zest, and a tiny pinch of salt.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Make-Ahead Tip: Assemble phyllo cups up to 1 day in advance and refrigerate; bake just before serving.
Nut Swap: Substitute pistachios for pecans for a colorful green touch.
Serving Idea: Arrange around rosemary sprigs on a platter for a festive “wreath” look.
