This week for Sunday Supper, we are on the hunt! I have to admit, when Stacy of Food Lust People Love and Tara of Noshing With the Nolands, brought up this week’s Sunday Supper theme, a great big smile came across my face. Dishes that include wild game like venison, boar, and rabbit or vegetarian options like mushrooms, truffles, or wild berries bring me back to my childhood in Portugal. I thought about making rabbit stew, one of my favorite Portuguese delicacies. But then I remembered the great big blackberry bushes that lined the walkway to the front door. I would pick a berry or two or perhaps even three, every time I walked by. It’s funny how food can take you back in time and you can almost immediately smell the deliciousness again.
The combination of berries and brie in these small bites — so simple and perfect for entertaining. I love having these Brie Cheese Blackberry Bites all set up and popping them in the oven right before guests arrive. I also love adding a few additional berries on top for the last couple of minutes of baking. I just think they look pretty when they aren’t cooked all the way through and I enjoy the contrast from cooked berry to a firm berry, all in the same bite. You can add blueberries and raspberries too. Many times, I will freeze the berries when they are in season and I can get them at a great price and then bring them back out for this delicious recipe.
The combination of sweet and salty in this dish, will have your friends talking about these Brie Cheese Blackberry Bites until the next time they come over! I may have gotten a little overly excited and snuck in some raspberries into this batch.
Ingredients
- 1 prepared pie crust or one that you make from scratch
- 1/4 all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 cups fresh blackberries
- 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 8 ounce round of brie cheese
- parchment paper
- additional flour to use when rolling out the pie crust
- 4 tablespoons confectioners sugar
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375º
- Roll dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness
- Using a pizza cutter cut the dough into approximately 12 squares, if you want to make larger bites - cut into 8 squares
- Combine flour, sugar, blackberries and vanilla extract in a bowl and stir gently until evenly coated.
- Remove the rind from the brie cheese and slice into 24 slices
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- Place the squares on the parchment paper and add a slice of brie cheese and top with 1 tablespoon of blackberry mixture (reserve additional berries)
- Add another slice of brie on top of the blackberry mixtures
- Flip over two side of pie crust - almost forming an envelope
- Bake for approximately 15 to 18 minutes or until crust is golden brown and the brie cheese is bubbling
- Remove from oven and add 1 or 2 additional berries and return to the oven for 3 more minutes
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with confectioners sugar and sea salt

November 16, 2014 at 9:38 amMmmmm…..these are simply gorgeous Isabel! When I was a kid, I had a “fort” under the arches of the black raspberry patch in my back yard. There was also a mulberry bush out there for a while. It was awesome. Nibbling on berries while I played in the shade 🙂

November 16, 2014 at 11:04 amThese look fantastic, I adore berries and planted strawberries and raspberries in the back yard last year so I don’t have to hunt them down. You and I both have a huge love of brie, it is my weakness!
Nikki @ Niksnacks
November 16, 2014 at 11:25 amWow! Isabel! That little wisp of melted brie just melted my heart. I want to make these ASAP! I think I’ll add some bittersweet chocolate shavings on top… oh, the possibilities!

Hannah Newberry
November 18, 2014 at 4:26 pmI’ve never thought about using berries like this! I usually just serve them raw, but I’m definitely going to try this out when our blackberry bushes grow back in.
