Ingredients
  

  • 1 Brie cheese wheel 7 oz
  • 3 TBS dried cranberries finely chopped
  • 3 TBS shelled pistachios finely chopped
  • 8 oz Pillsbury Crescent roll dough makes 24 pieces
  • 1 large egg beaten plus 1 TBS water
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary plus whole sprigs, for garnish
  • salt
  • Pomegranate seeds for garnish
  • Honey for drizzling if desired

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cut Brie wheel into 12 pieces. Set aside.
  • Mix the cranberries and pistachios together in a small bowl. Salt to taste. Set aside.
  • Unroll the crescent dough (should be an 8×12” sheet). Cut 4 sections down the 8” side and 6 on the 12” side to get 24 squares.
  • Sprinkle ½ tsp of the pistachio-cranberry mixture in the center of each dough square. Place a cube of Brie on top and fold the corners of each square together, lightly pinching to seal everything. Transfer the bites to the baking sheet with seam down.
  • Whisk together egg and 1 TBS water in a small bowl and brush the top of each bite with the egg wash. Sprinkle each with a little rosemary and a bit of sea salt. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 14 mins.
  • Transfer the bites to a serving platter and garnish with pomegranate seeds and rosemary sprigs; drizzle with honey.
