Brie and Green Chile Cranucopias

These are great for a Thanksgiving appetizer or for a buffet table. The mini croissants are filled with Brie and a chile cranberry sauce, then baked.

Ingredients:

• 1 dozen mini croissants
• 1 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
• 1 small can chopped or diced green chile
• 2-3 oz Brie cheese

Directions:

Cut croissants in half and remove most of the soft inside bread from each. Coarsely chop cranberry sauce, using either a hand mixer or pulse in a food processor, then stir in chilies. Cut Brie into small pieces and stuff into croissant halves. Add a spoonful of chile and cranberry mixture, but do not overfill. Place on a large baking sheet, and bake at 300 degrees, about 8 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
