This cranberry brie bites recipe is one of the most amazing and perfect holiday appetizers for the holidays!
Servings: 20 pieces
Ingredients
- 1 baguette of choice, sliced in rounds
- 12 oz cranberries fresh or frozen
- juice and zest of one orange
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 knob ginger
- 1 8 ounce triple creme brie wheel sliced
- 2 tablespoons rosemary olive oil optional, sub with regular olive oil
- garnish with fresh rosemary
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium pot, add in your cranberries and finish with white sugar, brown sugar, orange juice, orange zest, knob of ginger, water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then bring to a simmer until the cranberries pop and create your sauce. If you want it more of a sauce, you can adjust with more water. If it's too tart, adjust with more sugar.
- Set aside until ready to serve.
- While your cranberry compote is simmering, cut your bread in small pieces with a knife, or cut your puff pastry sheets in rectangles.
- On a baking sheet with parchment paper, add on your sliced crostini in a single layer and season with salt, pepper and olive oil. Place in the oven and toast until warm, toasty but soft in the center, about 5-10 minutes.
- If you want to bake your brie and cranberries on the crostini, you can do so now to get melty brie, otherwise, when your toast is ready, top with a spoonful of cranberry sauce/cranberry compote, a slice of brie and finish with sprigs of rosemary on each crostini.
- Serve immediately!
