Ingredients
- 6 sheets phyllo dough, thawed
- 4 oz brie cheese, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup fresh or dried cranberries
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)
Instructions
- Prepare Phyllo Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush it lightly with melted butter. Repeat this process by layering and buttering 3 more sheets on top to create a stack.
- Assemble Crackers: Cut the stacked phyllo sheets into small rectangles or squares, roughly 3×3 inches in size. Place a piece of brie cheese on each phyllo square, then top with a few cranberries.
- Top and Bake: Cover each assembled cracker with one or two additional phyllo sheets, brushing each with melted butter. Place the crackers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for about 12–15 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crisp.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the crackers from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving to ensure the cheese sets slightly and the crackers hold together.
Notes
- Handle phyllo dough carefully; it dries out quickly.
- Use fresh cranberries for tartness or dried cranberries for a sweeter note.
- Brush each phyllo layer with butter to maximize crispiness and color.
- These crackers are best served warm or at room temperature.
