Tools You’ll Need to Make This Recipe a Success

1. Mini Muffin Tin
   Once I got my hands on this mini muffin tin, I never looked back. It’s great for baking individual bites that hold their shape perfectly and gives a crisp, golden finish every time. Plus, it’s perfect for baking other mini treats, making it a must-have for any kitchen!
2. Knife and Cutting Board
   A good knife and cutting board are essential for slicing the brie into neat, bite-sized cubes. I use this combo all the time, whether it’s for prepping cheese, veggies, or any other ingredients.
3. Spoon or Small Ladle
   This is key for spooning the cranberry sauce onto each bite. It helps you get the perfect amount every time, making the process quick and easy.
4. Baking Sheet
   I always place the mini muffin tin on a baking sheet to catch any drips or mess. It makes cleanup a breeze and ensures everything bakes evenly.
5. Oven
   The oven is the heart of this recipe, helping to bake the brie bites to golden perfection. A reliable oven ensures that everything bakes through just right, giving you the perfect crispy bite.

Yes! You can prepare the brie bites up to the point of baking and store them in the fridge for a few hours or overnight. Simply bake them just before serving.

Can I use a different cheese?
You can substitute brie with other soft cheeses like camembert or goat cheese, though brie has the best creamy texture for this recipe.

Is the cranberry sauce essential?
While cranberry sauce adds a wonderful flavor balance, you can replace it with other keto-friendly fruit spreads or even a low-carb jam of your choice.
