Ingredients

• 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 8 oz brie cheese, cut into small cubes
• 1/4 cup fruit preserves or jam (raspberry, fig, or apricot all work well)
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
• 1 tablespoon honey, for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or lightly grease a mini muffin tin.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Finish and serve. Let cool for a few minutes before serving, and drizzle with honey if desired.
