🧀 Oven-Baked 3-Ingredient Crescent Brie Bites
Yields: 24 bites
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 12–15 minutes
🛒 Ingredients
-
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
-
8 oz Brie cheese (rind removed if preferred, cut into 24 small cubes)
-
¼ cup fruit preserves or jam (fig, raspberry, apricot, or cranberry all work great)
Optional garnish: Fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme) or a drizzle of honey
👩🍳 Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin.
-
Prepare the dough:
Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles. Cut each triangle into 3 smaller triangles (or simply cut the whole sheet into 24 equal squares). Press one piece of dough into each mini muffin cup, gently shaping it up the sides. -
Add the filling:
Place a cube of Brie into the center of each dough-lined cup. -
Top with jam:
Add about ½ teaspoon of fruit preserves on top of each Brie cube. -
Bake:
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and the Brie is melted and bubbly. -
Cool slightly:
Let them cool in the pan for 2–3 minutes before removing. This helps them set and makes them easier to lift out. -
Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, melty goodness!
💡 Tips & Variations
-
Make it savory: Swap the jam for a small piece of roasted garlic, sundried tomato, or a sprinkle of herbs.
-
Add crunch: Top with chopped pecans, walnuts, or a tiny sprinkle of sea salt before baking.
-
Spice it up: Add a thin slice of jalapeño or a drizzle of hot honey after baking.
-
Make ahead: Assemble the bites in the muffin tin, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Bake just before serving.
These little bites are crispy, creamy, sweet, and savory all in one—guaranteed to disappear fast!
