All the ingredients listed in the recipe card below are standard fare. Find the brie with the other fancy cheeses, usually near the deli section of the grocery store. The prepared pie crusts are normally near the dairy section with the refrigerated biscuits.
Tips
- Using a nonstick muffin tin is best to ensure that these delicate pie bites wont stick in the tin.
- It is best to use a dull dinner knife to gently pry these bites out of the pan.
- Be sure to allow these to cool before eating! These are scorching hot inside when they come out of the oven.
- If a biscuit cutter is not available, a glass works just as well to cut the rounds from the dough.
- Let the dough sit out to soften for 10 minutes or so before unrolling.
