Ingredients:

  • 1 sheet (14.1 oz / 400g) frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 4 oz / 115g brie cheese, rind removed, cut into small cubes
  • ½ cup / 120ml cranberry sauce (whole berry or jellied, both work!), good quality
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Gently unfold the thawed puff pastry. If needed, lightly roll it out to even out any creases.
  2. Using a 1.5-2 inch cookie cutter, cut out 24 circles or squares from the puff pastry.
  3. Gently press each pastry piece into the mini muffin tin cups.
  4. Place a few cubes of brie into each pastry cup. Top with a spoonful of cranberry sauce.
  5. Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the beaten egg (optional).
  6. Bake in a preheated oven until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, and the brie is melted.
  7. Let the bites cool slightly before transferring them to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs, if desired.
