Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 sheets phyllo dough
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup Jarlsberg Cheese, cut into small cubes
  • Spiced Candied Nuts (recipe below)
  • Cranberry Sauce (recipe below)
  • Turbinado Sugar, for sprinkling

Spiced Candied Nuts:

  • 1 cup Walnuts
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Cranberry Sauce:

  • 1 pint fresh cranberries
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • Juice of 1 orange
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

Cranberry Sauce:

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine cranberries with orange zest, orange juice, brown sugar, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice. Cook down until the cranberries are have burst and the sauce has thickened, about 8 minutes.

Spiced Candied Nuts:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk egg white until frothy. Toss the walnuts into the whipped egg white until coated.
  3. Transfer to a separate bowl and toss with sugar and cinnamon. Lay out flat on the prepare baking sheet and toast for about 30 minutes, turning the nuts halfway.

Assembly:

  1. Brush your muffin tins with melted butter and set aside.
  2. Place a sheet of phyllo dough on parchment paper. Brush with melted butter, then place another sheet on top. Repeat layering until you have 4 sheets stacked up. Using a sharp knife or pizza wheel, slice the sheets into 12 equal squares. Fit each square into the prepare muffin tins.
  3. Fill each cup with a tablespoon of cranberry sauce, a few cubes of Jarlsberg Cheese, then top with candied nuts and a sprinkle of Turbinado sugar.
  4. Bake the phyllo bites until golden and the cheese is bubbly, about 12-15 minutes.
  5. Let cool slightly before serving.
