INGREDIENTS

• Brie cheese: 1 (12.3 oz) wheel, cut into 1-inch cubes, creamy and rich, this is the heart of the dish.
• Biscuit dough: 1 (16.3 oz) tube, used to encase the brie and cranberry filling for a golden, flaky exterior.
• Cranberry sauce: 1/2 cup, sweet and tart, adds a festive burst of flavor to each bite.
• Melted butter: 4 tbsp, brushed on top for a rich, golden finish.
• Fresh thyme: 1 tsp, chopped, adds a fragrant herbal note to balance the richness of the brie.
• 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.
