This year, my family is spreading the love as everyone is bringing one or two dishes to take the workload off of my mom and soon-to-be sister-in-law. I’ve been wanting to bake bread lately, so I signed up to bring the biscuits. Trouble was, my family wasn’t having any of it—Mom already had plans for me to bring my signature dish.
Let me backtrack: during the holidays last year, I madean easy appetizerthat my whole family devoured with ease. It was just fig jam and Brie in gorgeously golden puff pastry shells. Since then, I’ve made them with blackberry jam and cranberry sauce instead of fig jam, and every time, they’re a hit.

So when my mom sent me an angry text that no, I’m not bringing biscuits and instead making the3-Ingredient Cranberry-Brie Bites,I couldn’t deny her wishes. It seems like this will be my new signature dish at the holiday meal, and I’m not complaining!

They’re super easy to make, as they require minimal ingredients and prep time. All you need is to cut your puff pastry or pie crust into 2-inch pieces and add them to each indent of a mini muffin tin. Bake them in a 450°F oven for about 6 minutes, and then top them with your cranberry sauce and a small piece of Brie cheese. Bake them for just 5 more minutes so they form into this creamy, fruity bite that is so good, there’s no such thing as having “just one.”
I think Mom loves these most because they keep people away from the kitchen before the main meal. They’re still festive with a hint of cranberry, plus they’re too small to spoil your appetite but are the perfect bite-size snack to hold you over until dinner.
They’re also perfect if you have no clue what to bring to Turkey Day this year. But just know that, like me, you’re going to be expected to bring them along every year after that.
