4 Ingredient Cranberry Brie Bites Appetizer – Easy, Fancy & Delicious
Thanksgiving is IN A FEW DAYS y’all. I can’t believe it. I’m working over here on finalizing our menu (because I do it a few days in advance and definitely am not organized anytime before then…) I can tell you that these cranberry brie bites WILL BE ON THEM! Why? Because I’m a fan of several things. And this appetizer brings A LOT of those things together.
- Delicious food
- Easy to make
- CHEESE
- Impressive
- Brings everyone together
I’m all for easy things o make. Everyone knows that Dustin is the cook in our home. But even I can whip these cranberry brie bites up in a flash. Best yet, every time I make them or take them somewhere people ALWAYS say ‘Oh my gosh, these look good! So fancy!’
I don’t laugh because it’s not true! They are fancy. I laugh because they are SO stinking simple. Seriously, 4 ingredients and just a few minutes. Slice, drop and bake. And here I am looking like a fancy schmancy Suzy Homemaker. That my friends….is comical.
Pitch ins, company dinners, Thanksgiving, Christmas….a random Wednesday night dinner…these cranberry brie bites are good ANYTIME.
You can make them in a regular muffin tin for 12 larger ‘bites’ or if you want a true bite size appetizer, use a mini muffin tin.
I promise. One bite and you will be making these ALL the time! Ready for our easy, four ingredient recipe?
1
crescent dough
1 can
whole cranberry sauce
1 wheel
Brie-
fresh rosemary
Servings: large bites
-
Lightly flour a counter top.
-
Roll out a sheet of crescent dough. If you can’t find the whole sheets, you can use the crescent rolls, just pinch the perforated lines to make them whole.
-
Using a knife or pizza cutter, slice into 12 pieces. If using a mini muffin tin for tiny bites, cut the dough into 24 pieces.
-
Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray. Put each square of dough into the pan making sure that it forms a bit of a bowl.
-
Next, slice your cheese into 12 pieces. I cut the rind of mine, but you can leave it on if you wish. It is edible and a bit of personal preference! If using the mini pan, cut each slice in half.
-
Add one slice of cheese into each dough ‘bowl’.
-
Open a can of whole cranberry sauce. Spoon some on top of each piece of cheese.
-
Lastly, lay a bit of fresh rosemary on top of each one.
-
Bake in the oven at 375 for 12-15 minutes.
-
Serve warm.
That’s it!! I told you that these cranberry brie bites were so easy! Serve them in a basket or on a platter for a simple, but elegant and of course delicious appetizer. It really can’t get much simpler than this!

Holiday Conversation Cards For Kids

Holidays have a tendency of getting away from you sometimes. There always seems like there are two hundred things to do, but only time to do about fifty of them. Shopping, cooking, cleaning, wrapping, photos, cards, planning, calling and the list goes on and on. And, as if your to do list wasn’t long enough, kids are on break and sometimes it is just too dang cold to be outside.
Long story short…we are busy. And I know if I’m busy in my home, then you are busy too! But one thing that we like to make sure of no matter how busy we are is that everyone is eating a good breakfast and we have a little bit of time to spend it as a family.
No matter if that means breakfast is sitting at the table together or if we are grabbing a breakfast to go as we race to cross off things on our to do list for the day. Eating together is important for me. Which means that I need yummy food that I can serve my family.
Our whole house is obsessed with Odom’s Tennessee Pride Sausage & Gravy Stuffed Biscuits! They only take about a minute to make, which is a HUGE mom win!
Our kids are also big fans of Odom’s Tennessee Pride Sausage & Egg Cheese Stuffed Biscuits. Cheesy goodness.
You can find both of the Odom’s Tennessee Pride Stuffed Biscuits at Walmart. Which works out perfectly since you know that you will be there crossing off everything on your holiday shopping list from gifts to food! (Psst! If you haven’t tried out Walmart’s Online Grocery Pickup Service, do yourself a favor and try it! It makes your shopping SO simple!) You can find lots of yummy easy food ideas here!
I’m a huge believer in the fact that good food brings along good conversation. So to help, I created a few fun free printable conversation cards for the holidays! You can download them here!
Simply print and cut and you are ready for some fun.
There is a pack of Thanksgiving conversation cards with things like ‘Pumpkin pie or apple pie?’ and ‘Give the person on your right a compliment.’
These cards would be perfect not just for while you are eating breakfast, but they would be perfect for printing for your Thanksgiving table for people to grab or to use with your name cards!
There is also a pack for Christmas filled with fun questions for kids and adults alike! Some sample questions include ‘What is one thing on your Christmas list?’ and ‘Hot chocolate or eggnog?’
Our kids loved the Odom’s Tennessee Pride Sausage & Gravy Stuffed Biscuits so much, we are thinking about having a few boxes of them for Christmas morning. You know, when the kids get up way before it should legally be allowed to classify as Christmas morning? Yep. These may make my life so much easier! And we will totally bust out our conversation cards!
What kind of cookies do you think are Santa’s favorite? Hmmm….I think Santa loves a good sugar cookie. With the sugar crystal sprinkles. What about you?
