INGREDIENTS

  • Brie cheese: 1 (12.3 oz) wheel, cut into 1-inch cubes, creamy and rich, this is the heart of the dish.

  • Fresh rosemary: 1 tsp, chopped, complements the thyme with its earthy flavor.
  • Flaky sea salt: 1 tsp, sprinkled on top to enhance the flavors and add a crunchy finish.

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2:
Slice each biscuit in half to create two thin rounds. Add a small spoonful of cranberry sauce on each round and top with a cube of brie.
Step 3:
Fold the dough edges over the filling and pinch to seal. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4:
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, thyme, and rosemary. Brush this mixture over the stuffed biscuits.
Step 5:
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and puffed up.
Step 6:
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these gooey, cheesy, cranberry-filled bites!

Serving and Storage Tips

  • Serve warm for the best gooey texture. These cranberry brie bombs are perfect as a holiday appetizer or snack.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to restore their golden crispness.

Helpful Notes

  • Feel free to swap the cranberry sauce with a different fruit preserve, like fig or apricot, for a unique twist.
  • If you prefer a more savory flavor, omit the cranberry sauce and add caramelized onions or sautéed mushrooms instead.

Tips from Well-Known Chefs

  • Chef Gordon Ramsay suggests using a sharp brie for a more intense flavor contrast with the cranberry sauce.
