When it comes to Christmas, I find I’m always on the lookout for easy snack recipes and party foods.
To be honest, party food always catches my eye anyway – since I’ve got a bit of a weak spot for mini foods like these spiced muffin bites and thesebite sized burgersand theseCranberry Brie Bites!

This one started off as a single layer of pastry with brie on top – tasty but a little boring. The addition of the cranberry sauce and thyme not only makes it look more Christmassy, but also really oomphs up the flavour.
FAQ’s
Do you need to remove the rind from the brie before baking?
No. The rind on brie tends to be edible and also helps the cheese hold its shape somewhat when in the oven.
I decided to go for two layers of pastry too – to give it a little extra height (and besides, there’s always room for more pastry right?)
So simple to make, but they’re always the first to disappear from the buffet table.
Keep these ingredients on standby and you’ll be sure to impress those unexpected guests.
