You say pee-can, I say puh-can
This is a great way to repurpose that cranberry sauce. If you don’t have phyllo dough, wonton wrappers will also do the trick. (Sunday Suppers will return next week.)
Cranberry Brie Bites
- 5 pieces phyllo dough
- 12 pecans
- 2-3 ounces brie
- 6 tsp cranberry sauce
- about 2 tsp olive oil or melted butter
Brush olive oil or melted butter between each layer of dough. Stack the pieces evenly. Cut the layers into 12 squares using a pizza cutter. Push the squares into a mini muffin tin with the edges sticking up. Bake at 350 until golden, about 15 minutes. Cut a piece of brie and place in the bottom of each cup. Return pan to the oven and let brie soften, about 4-5 minutes. Allow to cool slightly. Top each cup with a half teaspoon of cranberry sauce and a pecan.

Delicious combination of textures (crispy and creamy) and tastes (sweet and salty) in this dish. I love both brie and cranberry.
I absolutely adore this idea! I’m working on a Thanksgiving leftovers post for tomorrow and would love to link to it, as long as you don’t mind. 🙂
Not a problem. Thanks!
awesome recipe! too bad we did not make any cranberry sauce this year, but next time I will definitely try this!
Wow what a great appetizer . Those look scrumptious .They would be great a christmas party.
Thanks again for such a great idea for an easy appetizer. Now do you have a drink suggestion to go with this? You guys are great! Thanks again, BAM
We drank a pinot, but a sparkling or sweet white would be good. We were having a heavier dinner so picked something that wen with both.
Thanks for the wonton wrappers tip, I think I will use that as I have many of them
What a fantastic idea! We’ve all got leftover cranberry sauce and parties galore coming up. Thanks!
This looks like an easy, and delicious party treat!
Genius idea with the wonton wrapper!
We’ve used wonton wrappers before. I think we put little shrimp mango bites in those. Can’t remember where that recipe was from.
Excellent idea! I love fruit with cheese!
Lovely – and perfect for Christmas too!
Nope. I say, pee-kn. Sometimes pee-ken. Sometimes pee-can. But puh-can… gotta start doing that more often ;P
And the deliciousness keeps coming! Such festive little packages.

What a fun and tasty idea!
Love the little parcels!
I like these very much. So simple and beautiful. Little bites with some of our favorite seasonal ingredients. BTW I say “puh-cans” as well.
What a great way to use up that leftover cranberry sauce and I’m loving the idea of brie&cranberry…yum. I also say “puh-can” as well 😛
It’s good to see you blogging again BTW!
This sounds great for the upcoming holiday parties!
What’s great is they look way fancier than they are. And it’s easy to switch out the toppings.
They look fantastic.
That’s such a great appetizer idea!
I loooove foods in tiny bite-sized form, and these look super delicious.
Great looking appetizer…I’d make it even if I wasn’t repurposing cranberry sauce! I say puh-can…I was born in Alabama. My husband says pee-can…he was born in Ft. Lauderdale. He’s wrong.
I feel like this is the kind of thing people would go nuts over on pinterest because it’s so clever. puh-can is the only way to say pecan.
It’s on there, we shall see….
I’m so glad that I’ve been saving this one in my inbox. I’m making it this weekend!!! Maybe tomorrow. I have a bit of remaining cranberry sauce. I have mini-phyllo cups. I have pecans. All I need is some brie. I’m all over this. 🙂
