Cranberry Brie Bites is a quick Christmas snack that is beautiful and delicious. A pastry filled with cheese and fresh cranberries is perfect for a holiday party.
I’ve really got into the cranberry craze this season. There are just so many great ways to use this fruit besides cranberry sauce. A few of my new favorites are Cranberry White Chocolate Cookies, Cranberry Mimosas and Cranberry Christmas Cake.

Ingredients:
- Mini Fillo Shells
- Cranberries
- Brie
- Sugar
- Rosemary
How To Make Cranberry Brie Bites
Recipes that are easy to make but look beautiful and fancy like this one are my favorite! Here is how to make them.
- Cook your cranberries.
- Fill fillo shells with brie cheese.
- Bake the cups with cheese only.
- Top with cranberries.
Tips!
- To avoid having mushy cranberries and so they keep their shape, remove them from the heat as soon as they pop.
- You can use fresh OR frozen cranberries.
- If you aren’t a fan of brie cheese or just want to leave it out, you totally can! Just skip that step, but still bake the Fillo shells prior to adding the cranberries.
- If you DO add the cheese, remember brie melts down about 50% so fill those shells completely. Don’t worry about overdoing it.
