Ingredients Needed

• Wonton Wrappers: For a flaky, golden, and crispy base.
• Brie cheese: Soft, creamy cheese that melts perfectly inside.
• Cranberry sauce: Sweet and tangy sauce for flavor contrast.

How To Make Air Fryer Cranberry Brie Bites

Step One: Place the wonton wrapper into a silicone muffin cup. Place a small cube of brie cheese in the center of each wonton wrapper.

Step Two: Top with a small spoonful of cranberry sauce. Set the air fryer temperature to 250 degrees F, and set cook time for 3-5 minutes.

Step Three: Let the bites cool for a few minutes after cooking, as the cheese will be hot.

💡 Recipe Variations

• Nutty Crunch: Add chopped walnuts or pecans inside the wonton wrapper for an added crunch and nutty flavor.
• Spicy Twist: Mix a small amount of jalapeño jelly with the cranberry sauce for a sweet and spicy combination.
• Herbed Brie: Add a sprinkle of fresh thyme or rosemary along with the brie cheese for an herby note.
• Apple Cinnamon: Swap cranberry sauce with apple butter or apple pie filling and add a dash of cinnamon for a fall-inspired bite.
• Honey Drizzle: Drizzle a little honey over the brie before folding the wrappers for a sweet and savory treat.
• Vegan Version: Use plant-based cheese and a vegan-friendly wonton wrapper for a dairy-free alternative.

💡 Air Fryer Cranberry Brie Bites Recipe Tips:

• Experiment with Toppings: For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt, cracked black pepper, or fresh herbs like thyme on top before serving.
• Use Fresh Wonton Wrappers: Make sure your wonton wrappers are fresh and not dried out. If they are too dry, they may not crisp up properly.
• Cut Brie Small: Cut the brie into small cubes so it melts evenly and doesn’t overwhelm the filling.
• Don’t Overstuff: Keep the amount of brie and cranberry sauce to a small spoonful to ensure the wontons seal properly and don’t overflow during cooking.
• Check Frequently: Since air fryers vary, check the bites halfway through the cooking time to avoid overcooking. You want them golden and crispy, not burnt!

Storing

Storing: Store any leftover Air Fryer Cranberry Brie Bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Let them cool completely before storing to maintain their crispness.

Freezing: To freeze, place the cooked cranberry brie bites in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze them until firm. Then, transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2-3 months.

Reheating: To reheat, place the leftover bites in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 3-5 minutes, or until they’re heated through and crispy again. Alternatively, you can reheat them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.

Air Fryer Cranberry Brie Bites Recipe Faqs

❓ Can I use something other than brie cheese? Yes! You can substitute brie with cream cheese, goat cheese, or even a sharp cheddar for a different flavor profile. Just make sure to choose a cheese that melts well.

❓ Can I make these ahead of time? Absolutely! You can assemble the bites ahead of time, refrigerate them, and then air fry when ready to serve. Just be sure to store them in an airtight container to prevent the wonton wrappers from drying out.

❓ Can I use egg roll wrappers instead of wonton wrappers? Yes, egg roll wrappers will work too, but keep in mind they are larger, so you may need to adjust the filling amount and cook time.

❓ What can I substitute for cranberry sauce? You can swap cranberry sauce for fruit preserves, such as strawberry, raspberry, or apricot, or even use apple butter for a fall twist.

❓ Can I make these without the air fryer? Yes! You can bake them in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
