It was so fun collaborating with Pillsbury on this post. All opinions expressed are my own.

I love finding festive appetizers for holiday parties. From Thanksgiving to Christmas and New Year’s, there are always several occasions where we need to bring a sweet or savory treat.

A classic that seems to be at every holiday get together is a brie cracker dip with some sort of berries. This is my sister Nicole’s signature dish. While I love this as a centerpiece, I get kind of bugged by either the lack of cheese or berries I get on my cracker. Then there are those double-dippers (you know who you are).

These Berries & Brie Crescent Rolls solve both of these issues.

I used Pillsbury Crescent Rolls as my vehicle to wrap up the brie and berries together. What I love about this is you can add as much or as little brie as you want. I cut the brie into ¼ inch slices, which I think went perfect with a tablespoon of berries. I also added a sprig of rosemary immediately after cooking as a beautiful garnish.

The Pillsbury rolls worked perfectly, and I was able to wrap up the brie and berries all in one. I left a small opening on one end so my guests could see what was inside, adding a gorgeous and festive touch.

Whether you are for an easy appetizer or something gorgeous to garnish your table spread these Berries & Brie Crescent Rolls are just what you are looking for.

Enjoy!  XOXO San

How do you make Berries & Brie Crescent Rolls?

  • In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, bring cranberries, blueberries, sugar, and 1/2 cups water to a boil.
  • Heat and simmer until most of the blueberries have popped and cranberries are falling apart; 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat; add salt and stir to combine.
  • Heat oven to 375 F.
  • Open up one package of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls and lay crescent rolls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  • Add one slice of brie cheese about the center of the crescent roll. Make sure it is entirely encased in the roll, you do not want it hanging out.
  • Top the Brie with berries, about 1 tablespoon each.
  • Wrap up the rolls as pictured.
  • Repeat with remaining dough, brie, and berries.
  • Once all the rolls on are on the pan and rolled up, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 14-16 minutes or until a light golden brown. If you cut thick brie, cook the crescent rolls a bit longer to ensure it is melted.
  • Remove from pan and slide in a rosemary sprig as garnish.
  • Place the remaining berry compote in a small serving bowl, for those who want to add more.
  • Place crescent rolls around the compote on a serving plate. Serve and enjoy!
