Cranberry brie bites are by far one of our favorite Thanksgiving appetizers, but jalapeño poppers also have a special place in our hearts. Put the two together, and the combination is truly unbeatable. The spice of the jalapeño goes perfectly with the tart cranberries and creamy brie, and the added bonus of wrapping the whole thing in prosciutto truly takes this app over-the-top good.

These bites are also so simple to whip up (ready in under an hour!), and are completely versatile. No prosciutto? Feel free to swap it out for bacon instead. Replace the mozzarella with another melty cheese, and switch up the cranberry sauce with your favorite jam. Speaking of cranberry sauce: we're partial to our homemade cranberry sauce (this is also the ideal recipe to use up those Thanksgiving leftovers), but you can also use store-bought in a pinch.

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, combine brie, mozzarella, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Add ½ the can of cranberry sauce and fold throughout, don’t fully combine.
2. Step 2Halve jalapeños lengthwise, then use a small spoon to remove seeds and veins. Fill with cheese mixture and wrap each with a halved slice of prosciutto.
3. Step 3Place on a baking sheet and bake until prosciutto is crispy and peppers are tender, about 25 minutes. Serve warm with remaining cranberry sauce.
