These Cranberry-Brie Phyllo Cups are the kind of holiday appetizer that disappears in minutes. With flaky, golden phyllo shells, creamy melted brie, and a dollop of tangy-sweet cranberry sauce, they’re the perfect bite-sized party starter. Whether you’re hosting Thanksgiving, Christmas, or a cozy fall gathering, these festive little cups always steal the spotlight.
I made these for a Friendsgiving one year and they were gone before the wine was poured. The warm brie melts into the crisp phyllo, and the cranberry adds just the right punch of brightness. Best part? They take less than 20 minutes to make and look like you worked all afternoon.
You can make them with homemade or store-bought cranberry sauce, and swap in puff pastry shells or tart shells if needed. Add a touch of rosemary, a pecan half, or a drizzle of honey for fun flavor twists.
Easy to prep, bake, and serve—these cranberry-brie phyllo cups are perfect for stress-free entertaining with maximum elegance. Your guests won’t stop at just one.
