Oven Baked 3-Ingredient Crescent Brie Bites

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: 24 bites

Directions and Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch glass baking dish for easy release.
2. For easier cutting, chill the brie in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
3. Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface. Press the seams together to form two large rectangles. Cut each rectangle into 12 even squares for a total of 24 pieces.
4. Slice the chilled brie into 24 small cubes, about 1/2 to 3/4 inch in size.
5. Place one square of crescent dough in the baking dish and press it down to form a base. Repeat for all squares.
6. Set a cube of brie in the center of each piece of dough.
7. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of jam over each piece of brie, being careful not to overload.
8. Pull the corners of each dough square up and around the brie and jam, pinching the edges to seal them securely.
9. Arrange all 24 bites snugly in the dish.
10. Bake for 15–20 minutes until the dough is puffed and golden brown, with melted cheese blissfully peeking through.
11. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Notes or Tips

Feel free to experiment with different fruit jams to match the flavor profile you desire. Raspberry adds a lovely tartness, while apricot will give a sweet, mellow note. To elevate your bites even further, consider adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, for a beautiful contrast against the creamy brie.

Cooking Techniques

Mastering the art of puff pastry and cheese bites is easier than you might think! The key is to ensure the brie is chilled to make cutting and handling easier. Also, don’t skip the step of pinching the dough corners together to ensure your bites are sealed nicely, preventing any jam from spilling out during baking!
