Equipment

Ingredients

24 mini phyllo cups pre-baked (If you don't have pre-made mini phyllo cups there are instructions below to make the cups) I make them with size #4 phyllo dough and about 1/2 cup melted butter
.5 cups cranberry relish
8 oz Brie roound rind removed and cut into approximate 1 tsp chunks (you can use whatever brie you have available, I prefer the Double Brie)

Instructions

MAKING MINI PHYLLO CUPS (if you bought pre-made phyllo cups you can SKIP THIS SECTION)

**Make sure you get your phyllo dough up to room temperature.**
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Grease a 24 count mini muffin pan. (I use a 48 count muffin pan only because I double almost everything when I cook)
Once the dough is ready, carefully transfer one sheet of phyllo dough to a large cutting board and brush all over with melted butter. Lay another sheet on top of the 1st brushing again with butter and the same for a third sheet, ending with the third sheet being brushed with butter. (Make sure to re-cover your original layers of phyllo dough immediately after grabbing a sheet to keep it from drying out on you. I like to use plastic wrap and wet paper towels over the edges so that there is no chance of my dough from drying out while I'm working.
Once you have 3 sheets done use a large knife or pizza cutter to cut your 3 layer sheet into 24 equal sized squares, cutting 6 rows on the wider side and 4 rows on the shorter side. (I honestly eye ball it as you'll see in a picture above)
Place each square into a mini muffin cup and press down to form a little cup for each.
Once your pan is full bake the cups for 4 minutes or just slightly golden.
Your mini bite cups are now ready to fill. They can keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days so making a bunch ahead of time is highly recommended.

MAKING THE PHYLLO BITES

Place your pre-baked phyllo mini cups into mini muffin pan or a large baking sheet.
Add about 1 tsp of brie, rind removed into the bottom of each cup.
Top with about 1 tsp of cranberry relish
Bake the cups at 350 degrees for 5 minutes.
Enjoy immediately or at room temperature.

Notes

These appetizer bites are best served warm, but just fine at room temperature as well.
