Raspberry Brie Bites
These easy, delicious Raspberry Brie Bites will steal the show at any cocktail party or game day event! Everyone will want the recipe!
This Brie Appetizer is super easy to make and is perfect to make with a partial wedge of leftover Brie! It’s an elegant starter that is always a hit.
Why You Must Make
- This is perfect to make when you have leftover Brie.
- For small gatherings, there will be none of these Brie Appetizers left over. They’re just that tasty!
- It’s an easy alternative to Bake Brie.
My absolute favorite baked brie is topped with fresh raspberries, jam, and a bit of rosemary before being wrapped in buttery puff pastry and baked. When I have leftovers from a party, Bill is delighted to help himself to a pre-dinner nibble. Not a crumb ever goes to waste.
But I also love this simple bite-sized version. My first attempt was with puff pastry shells, but they were a greasy mess. Tasty, but not ideal for finger food. These can be made with mini Phyllo shells or wonton skins lightly brushed with oil.
Ingredient Notes
- Wonton skins or frozen Phyllo shells – I found Athens brand phyllo shells in the freezer section with 15 to a box.
- Vegetable Oil – Only needed if using wonton skins to prevent sticking. Vegetable oil is better than olive oil as it’s flavorless and has a higher smoke point.
- Brie – A leftover wedge is perfect. Remove the rind if desired, but it’s not necessary
- Raspberry Preserves or Jam – I use Bonne Mamam brand
- Fresh Raspberries– Look for plump, firm berries for the prettiest garnish
- Fresh Rosemary – Do not substitute dried rosemary as the flavor will not be the same
How to Make
- Preheat oven to 375º.
- Grease 12 slots of a mini muffin tin with vegetable oil. Place Phyllo shells into the mini muffin tin without greasing (will need to make 2 batches to use all 15 shells if your mini muffin tin has just 12 slots).
- Cut brie into pieces that will fit into the bottom of each cup. Save scraps to nibble on. Whether you remove the rind is your personal preference.
- Mix preserves, fresh raspberries, and rosemary.
- Place approximately 1/2 teaspoon of the raspberry mixture on top of each piece of brie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the shells are lightly browned and the Brie is melted.
- Cool slightly, then remove from tin and garnish with fresh berries and sprigs of fresh rosemary if desired.
Frequently Asked Questions
Brie is soft, buttery cheese with an edible rind that dates back to France in the 8th century. It is made with raw or pasteurized cow’s milk.
It can be eaten sliced on crackers or baguette slices, rind included. Brie is a delicious addition to a cheeseboard. It’s best to let it sit out at room temperature for about an hour before serving to get the chill off. Both the texture and flavor will be accentuated.
It can also be wrapped in pastry and baked, added to sandwiches, quiches, pizzas, casseroles, etc.
There is some Brie etiquette if you’re interested. You should never cut the tip or corners off a wedge of Brie. Instead, cut a strip of Brie off from one of the two cut sides.
It’s easier to cut the brie when it’s cold. Follow the recipe to see if the brie needs to be sliced or diced and if the rind should be removed.
Brie has a rather short life once it’s removed from its wrapper. It should be used within a week or two and tossed if there is any sign of fresh mold growing on it.
To store Brie, first wrap it in parchment or wax paper, which allows it to breathe. Then wrap loosely in plastic wrap.

These raspberry brie bites are so delicious, easy to make and just so pretty! They are my new go-to appetizer to make for entertaining!
These are so cute and the perfect mix of sweet and savory with the brie. I’m saving this for my next book club gathering!
Beautiful! I like this kind of thing with chutney as well, only because it’s not as sweet. But they’re really pretty!
Ooo I love the combo of salty brie and sweet berries, so these bites look and sound terrific to me! I’ve made something similar with cranberry jam and rosemary, and that was a nice Christmassy option.
An easy and very impressive appy!
PS-Glad everyone got to see a win last night:@) Snow flurries already? Yikes…
I’ve done brie and raspberries in little puff pastry shells but hadn’t thought about using wonton skins. What a great idea! I’ve never tried these with rosemary either but now will. Thanks Liz!
Anything with Brie I love. 🙂 These little bite sized morsels are so cute!
Lizzy,
I love this appetizer. They’re so cute too. Sometimes I eat appetizers for dinner and this is one that I could easily do that with.
Annamaria
These are definitely my type of food, cheese nibbles are far too hard to resist and very little in life beats melted creamy brie!
What a beautiful little appetizer! And I love the flavor combination – that little hint of fresh rosemary is a great idea.
What a cute appetizer!
These brie bites look adorable, Liz! I love that you used wonton wrappers!
Actually.. raspberries and brie sounds like a really great combination!

I love little sweet and salty nibbles like these raspberry brie bites. They look beautiful and I bet tasted as delicious as their perfect appearance too.
These little bites look delicious! Brie goes so well with jam!
I just love being presented with cute food, tiny little bits of this and that, all lined up and looking so darn small and cute and approachable. These fit the bill nicely. Okay, maybe a little pun there on the bill part…but I think they would fit anyone nicely, great suggestion. I have never wanted to eat raspberries every day (and I do love them) so much as when I started following your blog! They just dress everything up so beautifully.
I love these brie bites, they looks amazing ! Raspberrys and brie together sound gorgeous ! I have to try this !
talk about the perfect bite!!! Here it is
You can do so many fun things with wonton skins, can’t you? And in this case, a really tasty thing, too. Really good idea — love the idea of it. And I know I’ve love the flavor, too. Thanks.
I adore brie, it’s probably my favorite cheese, and one of my favorite ways to enjoy it with fruits! These little raspberry brie bites would get demolished!
These brie bites with raspberry look fantastic!
Liz, brie is one of my favorites and I’m excited to see wonton skins as the ingredients. I’m sure they taste amazing.
Dear Liz, love bite-sized appetizers and your Raspberry Bries Bite look like I would love to gobble them up while watching th eOscars (very, very late in these parts) – brie and rasberry sounds like winning taste combination!
Andrea
Now that’s a fun new way to eat brie!

Crispy, cheesy and delicious. What a perfect little nibble for any festivity. Take Care, BAM
Bite sized baked brie. You have to love it. Brie and raspberries go so well together.
These would never make it to a party in my house. I’d just lock myself in a closet and eat ’em there.
They look so pretty with the raspberry on top! I’ve only had brie once a long time ago, I think it’s time for some more:@)
Oh my! Brie is my favorite and these little bites look and sound divine! Love these.
I love baked brie too, these bites are the perfect sophisticated twist!
