On Thanksgiving, you’ll want to put most of your effort into cooking the big guns: the turkey, the stuffing, the green bean casserole, and so on. So when it comes to the pre-meal appetizers, it’s totally OK to keep things low effort. That can be a thrown-together cheese plate<\/a>, some heat and eat finger foods<\/a>, or small bites composed of a few ingredients. These festive cranberry Brie bites fall right into the latter category. They’ve got that DIY touch, but with minimal DIY effort. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This recipe uses puff pastry, the do-it-all wunderkind of easy baking, as a wrapper for tart cranberries, gooey Brie cheese, and crunchy pecans. Just cut up the rolled out dough into small squares, spoon a little bit of filling ingredients onto each, and bake until golden and flaky. It’s more of a template than a recipe, as you can really choose any fruit, cheese, or crunchy thing you like. We’ve opted for cranberries here for a festive Thanksgiving or Christmas touch, but feel free to use whatever is good and in season, including other berries, chopped apple or pear, or fresh figs. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
