Air fryer cranberry Brie bites are a yummy appetizer or special party treat. Made with cranberry sauce, brie cheese, and mini phyllo cups.

These bites have very little prep, and done in just a few minutes. You are going to love this bite-size treat.

Brie cheese is a soft white cheese named after the region in France got it normally comes from. Cranberry and Brie go together so well. The crisp from the Shell Cup just completes the bite.

Just a quick warning, when you make these bites, expect them to be gone in seconds. I put them out on a plate and before I could leave the room they were all gone.

These are also a beautiful appetizer for every holiday party. The red cranberries just make these pop and are a nice touch to a holiday table.

What you need to make cranberry Brie bites

I used my Cosori air fryer to make these bites. The package for the Phyllo cups contained 15 and they fit in the air fryer basket perfectly. 

Besides an air fryer, the only ingredients you need to make this easy recipe is:

  • Baked Phyllo shells, like Athens
  • Brie cheese
  • Cranberry sauce

OPTIONAL: Nuts to sprinkle on top, such as pecans or almonds, or a drizzle of honey.

How to make air fryer cranberry Brie bites

This perfect appetizer is so easy to make. To begin, cube the cheese into pieces. Gently press a brie piece into the cup with a spoon or using your fingers. I used about half of a wheel of brie cheese, about four ounces. Cut a bite size piece for each cup, which is about 1-inch cubes. 

Once the cups have been lined with cheese, top the brie with cranberry sauce. I used about a teaspoon of cranberry sauce on each piece.

Place the cups in the air fryer basket or on a small baking sheet. Air Fry at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 3-5 minutes, until golden brown.

Cooking time may vary depending your air air fryer size and wattage. I only put mine in for 3 minutes and they were perfect. If they aren't warm, add an additional 1-2 minutes.

Baked brie tastes best if served warm. You can sprinkle brown sugar on top before cooking, or add a teaspoon of brown sugar to the cranberry sauce before baking. For an extra splash of seasonal colors for a festive appetizer, garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary. 

FAQs

Do I need to remove the rind off of brie?

You can remove rind off brie before baking. The brie rind is totally edible, but to get the perfect appetizer with creamy brie, I cut it of first. 

What do I do if I can't find the phyllo cups? 

Cut a puff pastry sheet into squares, and then make a puff pastry cup. You can also use crescent roll sheets, or canned dough, cut into squares, to wrap around the filling. 

Do I need to prep the basket?

You can use air fryer parchment paper, or non-stick spray. I did not use either, and they did not stick to the basket, so it's not necessary.
