Expert Tips

Chop The Cranberries and Nuts: Finely chop the dried cranberries and walnuts so you can sprinkle them on top and evenly distribute them in each brie cup.
Remove The Rind: You need about 2 ounces of brie. However, buy a little more than 2 ounces because you won’t be using the rind.
Press Down The Brie: Lightly press down the balls of brie. Press them down before adding them to the shells. It helps create a flatter surface to rest the cranberries and walnuts.

Storage Instructions

If you need to store baked brie cups before serving them later that day, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Also, do not drizzle them with honey until ready to serve. When ready, reheat them at 350°F for 3-5 minutes and serve.

Substitutions and Variations

Drizzle Hot Honey: Drizzle with your favorite honey or hot honey for a kick of flavor. Hot honey adds a touch of heat that complements the flavors of the brie and cranberries.
What Brie To Use: Use light brie or regular brie. You can even use mini brie bites and cut them into smaller pieces.
Add Pecans Instead: If you don’t want to use walnuts, substitute them with pecans. Roasted pecans or candied pecans are great options.
