Cranberry Brie Bites

Ingredients

1 can Pillsbury Crescent Dough Sheets
1 wheel Brie
1 cup Cranberry Relish
optional - Fresh Rosemary
optional - Toasted Walnuts
optional - Fresh Cranberries

Directions

Position rack in the center of the oven and heat to 375°F. Prepare a mini muffin tin by spritzing with non-stick spray.
Roll out dough on a lightly floured board and cut into 2" squares.
Cut the rind off of the wheel of Brie and cut into 1/2" pieces.
Tuck dough squares into the muffin cups, followed by a chunk of Brie and about a 1/2 teaspoon of Cranberry Relish. Top with bits of fresh Rosemary or chopped Walnuts.
Bake for 13 - 16 minutes or until pastry dough is golden brown. Use a knife or small heat resistant spatula to remove Cranberry Brie Bites from the pan and place them on a serving platter. Garnish with sprigs of fresh Rosemary and fresh Cranberries.

Cooks Notes: Remove the bites promptly from the muffin tin to prevent sticking. Fresh Rosemary adds a very nice flavor to the treat but they are certainly as delicious without.
