These Cranberry Brie Bites are the ultimate party appetizer for anyone feeding a family on a budget. They look fancy, but they’re made with simple, affordable ingredients and come together in just 15 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package wonton wrappers (about 24 wrappers)
  • 8 ounces brie cheese, rind removed and cut into 24 small cubes
  • 1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, plus extra for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for drizzling)
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly spray a 24-cup mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. Cut the rind off the brie and cut into 24 small cubes, about 1/2 inch each.
  4. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small microwave-safe bowl or saucepan.
  5. Place one wonton wrapper into each cup of the mini muffin tin, pressing down gently to form a cup shape.
  6. Brush the exposed edges of each wonton wrapper with melted butter.
  7. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of cranberry sauce into the bottom of each wonton cup.
  8. Place one cube of brie on top of the cranberry sauce in each cup.
  9. Sprinkle a few fresh thyme leaves over each bite. Add chopped nuts if using.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until wonton wrappers are golden brown and brie is melted and bubbly.
  11. Let cool in the pan for 2-3 minutes, then gently remove with a small spoon or offset spatula.
  12. Arrange on a serving platter, drizzle with honey if desired, and garnish with extra thyme leaves. Serve warm.

Notes

Don’t skip brushing the wonton wrappers with butter for a golden, crispy finish. Let brie sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before cutting for easier handling. Watch the oven closely after 8 minutes to prevent burning. Can be assembled up to 2 hours ahead and refrigerated before baking.
