Ingredients
- 15 frozen phyllo shells (I love Athens brand)
- 8 oz wheel or wedge of brie cheese
- 7.5 tsp leftover cranberry sauce plus extra to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Prep a small baking sheet with parchment or foil if desired then top with phyllo shells.
After removing rhind, cut brie into fifteen 1-inch cubes.
Place a cube of brie in each phyllo cup.
Bake for 8 minutes or until brie is melted and warm.
While the phyllo cups bake, warm up your cranberry sauce (via microwave or stovetop) and add 1/2 teaspoon (or more!) to each phyllo cup once done baking.
For best resutls, enjoy right away.
Notes
Feeling fancy? Chopped fresh parsley, rosemary, or mint makes a beautiful garnish.
No cranberry sauce? Use your favorite cranberry preserves in it’s place. You could also use raspberry preserves if preferred.
No Brie? No problem! Havarti cheese makes an excellent swap.
