Cranberry Brie Phyllo Cups are always a hit! This easy yet elegant appetizer features crisp phyllo shells filled with creamy brie cheese and warm cranberry sauce.
This holiday season I decided to add another flaky phyllo cup recipe to my arsenal and make these super easy Cranberry Brie Phyllo Bites!
I had them at a party and rushed home to recreate the recipe using my homemade crock-pot cranberry sauce. I always keep a small batch in the freezer for such occasions.
I love a good easy-prep appetizer and these bite-sized cranberry brie cups totally fit the bill! They’re fast, flavorful, and guaranteed to vanish fast when your guests discover how utterly delish they are!
Let’s get our recipe on, shall we?!
Cranberry Brie Phyllo Cups
This tasty 3-Ingredient recipe uses store-bought phyllo shells, homemade cranberry sauce, and creamy brie cheese.
Depending on preference, you can add the brie to the top or the bottom of these flaky little phyllo cups. I love them both ways!
No brie cheese? No problem! You can also use melty Havarti cheese in this recipe as a scrumptious swap!

Questions & Reviews
This is my new go-to appetizer !
Would wonton wrappers work the same as phyllo cups?
Hi Lisa! You can absolutely use wonton wrappers! I cook them up a little different when I use them. Preheat oven to 365 degrees F. Gently place wonton squares in a mini-muffin tray spritzed with spray oil. For extra crunch you can also lightly spray the won-ton wrappers themselves with a little oil. Bake for 5 minutes to lightly crisp. Then follow the cranberry brie phyllo cup recipe as directed but with your crispy little wonton cups!
Can these be transported after cooking? I need to bring an appetizer to a dinner party and these would be perfect!
They absolutely can!
Jenn,
I’m wondering if I couldn’t simplify by putting canned whole berry sauce on top of the brie and baking it all at once… what do you think? Desperate for even quicker and easier!
Hi Juanita! You 100% could!
