Summary

i’m sure you already know and love brie cheese, but did you know that they now come in mini-wheels?! if you’ve never seen them in stores, trader joe’s now sells tiny little wheels of brie and i am OBSESSED! personal baked brie bites are the perfect way to utilize these delicious little cheese wheels- just add a bit of your favorite spread and wrap with crescent roll dough for a simple, semi-homemade appetizer. i used strawberry jam for this recipe, but feel free to customize the filling to your taste: try an orange marmalade or raspberry compote, or you could even replace the jam with caramelized onions and fresh herbs for a savory twist.

Ingredients

1 (8 oz.) can crescent dough
4 mini-wheels of brie
4 tsp. strawberry jam
1 egg, beaten

Instructions

begin by preheating the oven to 375ºF. pop open the crescent dough and lightly flour your work surface.
spread dough onto the floured surface, separating into 4 equal portions. with clean fingertips, gently press dough to join at the seams, patting gently to smooth (this will keep the pastry from separating along any perforation).
using a pizza cutter or knife, cut each portion in half, yielding a total of 8 squares- half will serve as a bottom of the pastry and half will serve as a top.
to each bottom square, spread a small amount of strawberry jam, then top with a mini wheel of brie. top each with another square of dough, lining up the edges.
using your fingertips, press the dough together along each side, then crimp edges firmly with a fork. trim away excess dough around the filling (roll it out to make more brie bites, or save it for another recipe!).
arrange pastries on a greased baking sheet. using a fork, poke the tops of each pastry to vent, then brush with the egg wash. sprinkle with flakey salt before placing in the oven and baking for 10 minutes.
once lightly browned and crispy, remove from the oven and serve while warm.
