Ingredients

• 1 can Pillsbury crescent dough sheets
• 1 wheel Brie
• 1 cup cranberry relish
• fresh rosemary optional
• toasted walnuts, chopped optional

Instructions

• Position rack in the center of the oven and heat to 375°F.  Prepare a mini muffin tin by spritzing with non-stick spray
• Roll out dough on a lightly floured board and cut into 2" squares.  
• Cut the rind off of the wheel of Brie and cut into 1/2" pieces.
• Tuck dough squares into the muffin cups, followed by a chunk of Brie and about a 1/2 teaspoon of cranberry relish.  Top with bits of fresh rosemary or chopped walnuts.  
• Bake for 13 - 16 minutes or until pastry dough is golden brown.  Use a knife or small heat resistant spatula to remove cranberry brie bites from the pan and place them on a serving platter.  Garnish with sprigs of fresh rosemary and fresh cranberries.

Notes

Remove the bites promptly from the muffin tin to prevent sticking.

Fresh rosemary adds a very nice flavor to the treat but they are certainly as delicious without.
