Cranberry Brie Phyllo Bundles

Ingredients

  • 1-1/4 cups butter, melted
  • 1 package (16 ounces, 18-inches x 14-inches sheet size) frozen phyllo dough, thawed
  • 1-1/2 cups cranberry jelly
  • 8 ounces Brie cheese, rind removed, cubed
Directions
  1.  Take an individual phyllo sheet and brush it generously with melted butter (Keep remaining phyllo covered with waxed paper to avoid drying out.)
  2. Cut widthwise into 4 strips. Cut lengthwise to make four squares. Stack one on top of the other and then place buttered side down into a mini muffin pan. Continue to do this until 24 mini muffin tins are filled.
  3. Add a tsp of cranberry jelly to each and a cube of brie.
  4. Fold over (like the picture) to form a bundle and brush with more melted butter. 
  5. You can freeze these on the tray at this point and then, once frozen, remove to a freezer bag.
  6. Bake at 400° for 10 minutes if defrosted, or 20 minutes if frozen or until golden brown. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Yield: 24
