Cranberry Brie Bites

The appetizer that will definitely be devoured quickly. My family loves these so much we will just make them for a weekend snack. Good thing they’re so easy!

What you’ll need 👇🏼
1 sheet of puff pastry
Canned cranberry sauce (about 1/2 cup)
1 brie round cut into cubes
Candied nuts like pecans or walnuts
Finely diced rosemary

Preheat your oven to 375. Cut the puff pastry into 2 inch squares. I use a mini muffin tin, greased, and put the puff pastry in those molds. You could try to do this without the mold, but this is a lot easier. Stuff with a little block of cheese, top with a little cranberry, sprinkle some chopped candied nuts, then bake for about 15 -17 minutes. Once removed, you can top with the rosemary.

In a non stick skillet, melt cheese of choice for half a tortilla. Once the cheese is melting and bubbling, lay a large tortilla (I use carb balance) over. Layer the warmed up, seasoned chicken * and some nacho cheese.
Once the cheese is crispy, flip to cook the other side.
After it’s all cooked, open, add shredded cheese, sour cream or plain Greek yogurt, diced tomato, then close.

*For the chicken, I warm up shredded chicken with taco seasoning for more flavor.
