Print Recipe

These Quick Cranberry Brie Phyllo Cups are the ultimate shortcut to a stunning appetizer. With just five ingredients and 20 minutes, you get a perfect bite of crispy phyllo, molten brie, tart cranberries, and crunchy pecans.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (about 15 cups) mini frozen phyllo cups (such as Athens brand)
  • 4 ounces brie cheese, rind on, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • ½ cup fresh cranberries (or frozen, no need to thaw)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • ⅓ cup candied pecans, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, toss the cranberries with the maple syrup until evenly coated. Let sit for a minute.
  3. Arrange the frozen phyllo cups on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
  4. Drop 1-2 small cubes of brie into the bottom of each cup. Spoon a few maple-coated cranberries (about 3-4) on top of the brie. Sprinkle a generous pinch of chopped candied pecans over each cup.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the brie is bubbly and the phyllo edges are deep golden brown. Check at 8 minutes.
  6. Let the cups cool on the baking sheet for exactly 2 minutes before transferring to a serving platter. Serve warm.

Notes

For best results, use cold brie for easier cutting. Don’t overfill the cups to prevent overflow. If prepping ahead, assemble cups up to 2 hours in advance and refrigerate; add 2 extra minutes to baking time. For reheating, use a 350°F oven for 3-4 minutes (not microwave). To freeze, assemble unbaked cups, freeze solid, then transfer to a freezer bag; bake from frozen, adding 3-4 minutes.
