Lil Brie Roll-Ups

 
We all know that baked brie is a holiday get-together staple.  I mean, who doesn't love cheese baked in dough?  Well here is my take on that party classic.

Sticking with the quick-n-easy theme, it's a tasty assembly you can throw together in just a short amount of time.  Delicious hot, but also quite tasty at room temp.

Lil Brie Roll-Ups

1 (5 oz) container spreadable brie
1 (10 oz) jar cranberry chutney
1/4 tsp ground clove
1 (4 oz) bag chopped walnuts
2 rolls (8 ct) refrigerated crescent rolls
cinnamon sugar (2-3 tsp approx)

Open one roll of crescents.  Layout and press the crossway seams together creating 4 large rectangles.  Cut each rectangle (short-wise) into 4 pieces.


Slather each piece with a nice helping of the spreadable brie.  Over the brie, spread a generous dose of cranberry chutney.


Sprinkle 1/8 tsp ground clove evenly over all 16 of the pieces.  NOTE: best way to avoid big clumps of the spice landing on one piece is to put the ground clove in your palm and use your fingers to lightly sprinkle it around.

Top each piece with chopped walnuts.


Roll each strip lightly and place them, seam side down, on a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper.  Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.


Bake at 400 degrees for 8 minutes or until toasty brown.  Remove and allow to cool for 5-8 minutes.  Otherwise you'll burn your tongue on the hot chutney.


Repeat whole process with the second roll of crescents. Will make 32 altogether.

NOTES

You can use your favorite jam or non-cranberry chutney with this recipe.

Pecans or even almonds would work just as well too.

If you like your baked treats super sweet, just omit the ground clove.  I added it to cut back on the overall sweetness of the roll-up.
