Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or lightly grease a mini muffin tin.
- Cut the dough. Unroll the crescent dough and separate along the perforated lines into triangles. Cut each triangle into 2-3 smaller pieces, depending on the size you’d like your bites.
- Assemble the bites. Place a small cube of brie in the center of each piece of dough, top with a small spoonful of jam, and a pinch of chopped nuts if using. Fold or wrap the dough around the filling, pinching the edges to seal.
- Arrange and bake. Place the wrapped bites seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet or in the muffin tin. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown and puffed.
- Finish and serve. Let cool for a few minutes before serving, and drizzle with honey if desired.

Tips for Success
- Freeze the brie for 10-15 minutes before cutting — it makes it much easier to cube cleanly.
- Don’t overfill each bite, or the dough may not seal properly and the filling can leak out while baking.
- Serve warm for the best gooey, melty texture.
