Notes

Reheating instructions for our Cranberry brie bites

Did you make too many brie bites and need to store your leftovers? Keep leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

To reheat them in the oven, preheat the oven to 350˚F. Place any leftover bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake them for 8-10 minutes or until the phyllo has crisped up again and the brie is warm and melty.

You can also use the air fryer to quickly reheat this appetizer. Just pop them in the air fryer basket at 325˚F for 3-5 minutes or until the phyllo is crisp and the inside is warmed through.
