    You are going to just love these Mini Brie Bites with Onion Jam. They’re cute, easy to handle, bite into, and serve at a party. Each bite features a mini-size portion of creamy brie, wrapped in a flaky crescent roll and adorned with a little dollop of onion jam. That’s it. Bake and serve just like that – guests will absolutely be impressed.

    For me, one of the best things about the Holiday season is enjoying ALL the food.

    I am not an overly social person at the best of times, preferring to snuggle on the sofa and read a good book over going out and talking to real people.

    But for approximately one month of the year that all changes.

    I become a little miss social, make ALL the food, and have ALL the people come over to enjoy it with me.

    What Do I Need For Mini Brie Bites with Onion Jam

    I have a few tried and true hacks to make entertaining less stressful.

    One of them is using pre-made crescent rolls (croissant dough) or puff pastry when I whip up some mini appetizers.

    It makes prep time for entertaining so much quicker and easier.

    TIP: Be sure to check the ingredients. Not all pre-made dough/pastry is created equal, and you don't want to be buying something full of nasties.

    Crescent rolls or croissant dough can be a lot harder to find outside of the US, so as a replacement use some puff pastry. It will be less fluffy, and more crunchy, but will work just as well.

    Another hack: Onion Jam.

    This stuff is amazing.

    In Australia, I buy a delicious blend from Beerenberg (they call it caramelized onion, but it has more of a jam consistency so I am sticking with jam).

    If you haven't bought onion jam/caramelized onion before, it can usually be found in the same aisle that you would find other savory sauces and pickles.

    If you can't find any and you have some extra time, then go on ahead and make your own: Balsamic Caramelized Onion.

    How To Make Mini Brie Bites with Onion Jam

    Mini Brie Bites with Onion Jam are so easy to whip up.

    You literally:

    • roll out the crescent roll dough (or puff pastry), making sure to press the seams together,
    • cut 24 little squares and pop them into a mini muffin tin,
    • into this, you add a little square of creamy brie,
    • a dollop of onion jam or caramelized onion and a sprinkle of fresh thyme,
    • pop in the oven and hey presto you have a great little bite to enjoy with those last-minute guests!

    If you like to be prepared: make up the mini brie bites in the mini muffin tin and pop them back into the fridge until your guests arrive. When ready, simply pop them into the oven and serve when done.

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 tube crescent roll dough (croissant dough) or puff pastry
    • flour for rolling out the dough
    • 8 oz brie
    • 1 cup onion jam or caramelized onions
    • 6 sprigs fresh thyme
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 375° and grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray of choice. 
    • On a lightly floured surface, roll out crescent dough or puff pastry, and pinch seams together. Cut into 24 even squares, and place the squares into greased muffin tin slots.
    • Cut the brie into small squares and place inside the dough. Top with a spoonful of onion jam and a sprinkle of fresh thyme.
    • Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden.
    • Serve warm.

    Notes

    Crescent roll dough can be found pre-made in most US supermarkets. Check the ingredients as some will have a lot of nasties included.
    Outside of the US you can look for pre-made croissant dough which will be in a similar tube.
    If neither of these can be found then puff pastry can be used instead. It will not be as light and airy, and will be a bit more crispy, but will still taste great.

      This was delicious but do not try to use all 8 oz. of brie or the full cup of onion jam. I only used half of both of those and the filling still bubbled out all over the pan and a bit over into the bottom of the oven. I think the recipe amounts should be adjusted. The good thing is that I had a nice amount of leftover brie and jam for another time or a different recipe.

    Hello and welcome, I'm Donna!

    I am so glad you are here!

    Since I have a part-time job, 3 little kids, and a love of good food (as do you I assume), I have learned how to get the most out of the kitchen in the smallest amount of time.

    Forget about hunting down weird ingredients and making trips to specialty shops.

    We are going to make the most of what is available at the store and farmer's markets all whilst enjoying some delicious meals the whole family (hopefully...if you have fussy eaters I guarantee nothing) will enjoy.

    Pop on that apron and let's get creative in the kitchen!
