Ingredients

Cranberry Baked Brie Bites Ingredients:

  • 1 (15-count) package frozen mini fillo shells
  • 3 ounces brie cut into 15 evenly-sized cubes
  • 1 batch cranberry sauce (see below)
  • fresh basil leaves torn into small pieces

Cranberry Sauce Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) fresh cranberries
  • 1/4 cup Bota Box red wine*
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar or your desired type/amount of sweetener

Instructions

To Make The Cranberry Baked Brie Bites Ingredients:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Spread out mini fillo shell evenly on a baking sheet.  Fill each with a piece of brie.  Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the brie is completely melted.
  • Spoon a few teaspoons of the warm cranberry sauce into each fillo shell.  Top with a torn fresh basil leaf, if desired.
  • Serve immediately.

To Make The Cranberry Sauce:

  • Stir all ingredients together in a small saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low.  Continue simmering, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries begin to pop**.
  • Remove from heat and let the mixture cool for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.

Notes

*If you would like to make these without alcohol, you can substitute in water or orange juice in place of the red wine.
**If you would like your cranberries to remain somewhat whole (instead of getting super-mushy), stir them gently and remove them from the heat once they start popping (instead of letting them simmer for too long).
