Red Pepper Jelly Brie Bites
Ingredients:
1 (8-oz.) tube crescent dough
Cooking spray, for pan
Flour, for surface
1 (8-oz.) wheel of brie
1/4 cup red pepper Jelly
1/4 cup chopped pecans
6 sprigs of rosemary, cut into 1" pieces.
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375° and grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray. On a lightly floured surface, roll out crescent dough, and pinch together seams. Cut into 24 squares. Place squares into muffin tin slots.
Cut brie into small pieces and place inside the crescent dough. Top with a spoonful of red pepper jelly/sauce, some chopped pecans, and one little sprig of rosemary.
Bake until the crescent pastry is golden, about 15 minutes.
How to make these ahead:
Red Pepper Brie Bites are a winning appetizer because they can be baked and frozen or completely assembled ahead of time and refrigerated. To refrigerate, fully assemble the bites in the muffin pan, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees F.
Freezer Directions: Red Pepper Brie Bites freeze very well. Bake the brie bites according to recipe directions then allow to cool completely. Once cooled, transfer to a baking sheet in a single layer so they aren’t touching and freeze until solid, about 1-2 hours. Store the frozen bites in a single layer in an airtight freezer-safe container or freezer bags for up to 2 months. When ready to serve, reheat directly from frozen at 350 degrees F for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through.
