Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry thawed
  • 8 ounces Brie cheese rind removed and cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 cup cranberry sauce homemade or store-bought
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons chopped pecans or walnuts
  • Optional: Fresh rosemary for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a mini muffin tin lightly or line with paper cups.
  • Prepare the Puff Pastry:
  • Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into 12 equal squares.
  • Assemble the Bites:
  • Place each square of puff pastry into the wells of the mini muffin tin, pressing down gently to create a cup shape.
  • Add the Brie and Cranberry Sauce:
  • Place a cube of Brie cheese into each puff pastry cup. Add about 1 teaspoon of cranberry sauce on top of the Brie.
  • Optional Toppings:
  • Sprinkle with chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch, or add a tiny sprig of fresh rosemary for a festive touch.
  • Bake:
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy.
  • Cool and Serve:
  • Allow the bites to cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.
