Brie & Cranberry Phyllo Purses

You will need:
One package phyllo dough
Unsalted butter
Brie
Frozen cranberries

Prepare 3-4 sheets of phyllo by brushing with melted unsalted butter and stacking. Cut sheets into 4-5 inch squares (a pizza wheel cutter works great)

Into center of each phyllo square place a 1 inch chunk of brie and one cranberry. Gather up all sides of the phyllo to form a bundle or little purse that is cinched in at the top with the jagged edges of the phyllo at all angels. If the sides don’t adhere, brush on additional melted butter to keep in place.

I always freeze right away on cookie sheets and bake later from frozen. Bake at 350 for about 10 min or until the points of the purses turn golden.

These end up being very pretty and I love the flavor contrasts.
