Essential Kitchen Equipment
Baking Sheet & Parchment Paper: For clean, non-stick baking.
Sharp Knife: To cut the brie wheel cleanly into small cubes.
Ingredients
1 can (8 oz) Refrigerated crescent roll dough (or puff pastry triangles)
1 small wheel (8 oz) Brie cheese, rind trimmed slightly and cut into 8-12 pieces
1/3 cup Seedless raspberry preserves (or cranberry sauce/fig jam)
Optional finish: Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water) or chopped pecans/rosemary for garnish
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep Oven & Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Unroll Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles along the perforated lines. (For smaller bite-sized party rolls, cut each triangle in half lengthwise to make 16 mini triangles).
3. Add Fillings: Place a teaspoon of raspberry preserves near the wide end of each triangle. Top the preserves with a square piece of brie cheese.
4. Roll & Shape: Roll up each crescent starting from the wide base end over the cheese and jam, wrapping down to the pointed tip. Tuck the edges slightly to prevent the cheese from leaking out while baking.
5. Bake: Arrange on the prepared baking sheet with space between each crescent. Brush lightly with egg wash if desired for extra golden shine. Bake for 11 to 14 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and the cheese is soft and gooey.
6. Serve Warm: Cool for 3 to 5 minutes before serving so the melted cheese settles slightly. Serve warm!
Chef’s Tips
Keep Brie Chilled: Cut your brie while it is cold straight out of the fridge—it is much easier to slice into clean cubes when cold.
Switch Up the Jam: Try using fig jam, pepper jelly, or leftover cranberry sauce for different holiday flavor profiles!
