Lemon-Blueberry Brie Bites

Store-bought crescent dough is what appetizer dreams are made of, which is why we reach for a can for almost every occasion and during every season. Come spring, these lemon-blueberry brie bites finally get their chance to shine. I mean, come on—bite-sized, blueberry, and brie is pretty much a perfect combination for a spring appetizer. With golden brown pastry (thank you, crescent dough!), gooey cheese, jammy blueberries, and crunchy almonds, these bites are perfect for an impromptu gathering or dinner party.

For the fruit filling, we use a simple, no-cook blueberry compote. Tossing halved blueberries with a little sugar helps draw out the fruit’s juices and fresh lemon zest adds bright citrus flavor. Halved raspberries or blackberries are a great option if blueberries aren’t available (and if it’s fall, cranberry sauce and brie are everything).

Before serving, garnish the bites with fresh lemon zest and a drizzle of honey for an easy, elegant finish.
