-1 Eight-Ounce Brie Round
-Jam Of Your Choice
-Chopped Pecans
-Sea Salt
The true beauty of this recipe is that it is so simple you can whip it up within one hour of having company over. Doesn’t that sound like a dream on a busy Christmas morning?
All you need is a pack of Pillsbury crescent rolls, a brie round, any jam of your choice, some chopped pecans, and sea salt for seasoning. As for equipment, this recipe only requires you to use one cupcake or muffin pan– so cleanup will be a breeze!
To start, you should crack open the Pillsbury canister, unroll the crescent dough, and mush together any serrated lines to get rid of the pre-cut triangle shapes. Afterward, you can use a pizza cutter or knife to slice the dough into twelve squares.
Once that is done, you should grab your muffin pan and grease it using cooking spray. Next, place a crescent dough square into each muffin tin and press down in the center.
After your muffin pan is prepped and ready for filling, you can move on to preparing your brie. Grab the cheese round out of your fridge and, again, slice it into twelve evenly-sized squares.
Ashley opted to keep the rind one, but people who dislike the rind can remove it at this stage.
Then, simply plop each brie cube into the center of your dough-filled muffin tins. Finally, before popping these sweet treats in the oven, you can add a dollop of your favorite jam and a sprinkle of chopped-up pecans.
Adding a pinch of sea salt on each brie bite will bring out some seriously sweet and salty complimentary flavors, too.
The last step is to throw the muffin tin in the oven and bake at three hundred and seventy-five degrees until crispy– or for about fifteen to twenty minutes, depending on your oven.
And afterward, you can remove the bites from your muffin tin, plate them on a holiday-themed tray, and feel totally satisfied as your Christmas guests ask for your secret recipe.
Ashley’s TikTok, in which she provides step-by-step footage of the recipe for viewers to follow along, has since garnered over three hundred and fifty thousand views, gained fifteen thousand likes, and prompted tons of comments.
“I make these every year! Put a little sprig of fresh rosemary on them too!! Elevates!” wrote one commenter.
“Adding this to my Christmas menu… thanks!” said a second.
“I have made these, and they are delicious!” added a third.
So, if you have been scrambling to put together your Christmas-day meal plan, don’t forget to add these baked brie bites to the mix. According to TikTokers everywhere, you will not regret it!
