Creamy, sweet, tangy, crunchy, mmmm tasty. That’s what I would use to describe these Mini Brie Cranberry Balsamic Bites. I made them as an appetizer for Christmas this year and I was pleasantly rewarded when they came out of the oven.
Taking flavors like creamy brie cheese, tart cranberries, and herbaceous rosemary and then baking them together in a little cup that crunches and falls apart when you bite into it makes the perfect combination.
Holidays can be stressful and full of activity. By preparing recipes like these Mini Brie Cranberry Balsamic Bites, you can prep ahead of time and throw the pieces together when you are ready to bake them. I paired this recipe with cranberry bbq meatballs, and roasted asparagus and prosciutto.
Any leftover sauce? The cranberry sauce can be used in other recipes like Pork Tenderloin with Cranberry Balsamic Reduction. Any leftover sauce can also be frozen for later use!
Frozen filo dough cups make prep a breeze! They can be found in the frozen section at the grocery store!
Save extra sauce to put on pork, a roasted sweet potato, or plain chicken to make a otherwise boring meal full of flavor!
