🧀 Ingredients (Only 4!)
-
1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
-
1 small wheel of brie cheese
-
2–3 tablespoons fruit jam (raspberry, cranberry, or apricot work great)

Optional toppings: chopped pecans, walnuts, or a drizzle of honey
🔥 How to Make Them
-
Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a mini muffin tin.
-
Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles. Cut each triangle in half.
-
Press dough into the muffin cups, forming little dough cups.
-
Cut brie into small cubes (rind on is fine!) and place one cube in each cup.
-
Top with jam — about ½ teaspoon per bite.
-
Bake 10–12 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly.

Cool slightly, then finish with nuts or honey if desired.
That’s it. Seriously.
