Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 onion sliced
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 4 Phyllo Sheets - 14”x18” thawed
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 4 -6 ounces Brie cheese
  • 1/2 cup Cranberry sauce
  • ¼ cup walnuts roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp rosemary

Instructions

  • Heat up a pan on medium flame with some oil, add the sliced onions and season it with some salt. Saute them until they are browned and turn caramelized in color. Splash the pan with water if they are burning rather than cooking. Slow cooking will ensure the onions do not burn. Once they are done leave them on a side.
  • Pre-heat oven to 350 F.
  • Thaw phyllo sheets as per the package instructions. Take one phyllo sheet, lightly brush it with butter. Layer another one and repeat the process until you stack 4 layers of phyllo sheets. In between every phyllo sheet you need to butter well enough or else it will turn out dry.
  • Using a pizza cutter or a knife, cut them into equal number of squares. You should be able to get 4” x 4” 12 squares. Fan them out. Arrange them in star shape. Tuck this into muffin pan. Place a cube of brie cheese, top it off with 1/4 tsp caramelized onions, walnuts, rosemary, and 1 tsp cranberry sauce.
  • Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake them for about 10-15 minutes. Bake them until golden brown, cheese is melty and bubbling. Let them cool off in the pan and then remove them.
  • Serve them either immediately or later.

Notes

You can use store-bought phyllo cups too. They look slightly different than these.
