Ingredients
Scale
Cheese:
- 1 (12.3 ounces/349 grams) wheel brie, cut into 1-inch cubes
Dough and Sauce:
- 1 (16.3 ounces/462 grams) tube biscuit dough
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
Seasonings and Finishing:
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon chopped thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon chopped rosemary
- 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
- Carefully slice each refrigerated biscuit horizontally into two thin, even rounds, creating a delicate base for the filling.
- Place a small dollop of tangy cranberry sauce at the center of each biscuit round, then crown with a perfectly cubed piece of creamy brie cheese.
- Gently fold the dough edges over the filling, meticulously pinching and sealing the borders to create a secure pocket that prevents leakage during baking.
- Arrange the stuffed biscuits seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other.
- Whisk melted butter with fragrant thyme and rosemary in a small mixing bowl, creating an aromatic herb-infused glaze.
- Delicately brush the herbed butter mixture over the surface of each stuffed biscuit, adding rich flavor and promoting a golden, crispy exterior.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, watching for a beautiful golden-brown color that signals perfect doneness.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving these irresistible, gooey holiday appetizers that burst with festive flavors.
Notes
- Choose cold brie for easier handling and cleaner folding when preparing the bombs.
- Ensure biscuit dough is fully sealed to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
- Try different jams or preserves like raspberry or fig for varied flavor profiles.
- Consider using gluten-free biscuit dough to make the recipe suitable for those with wheat sensitivities.
