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.
