Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 6 oz brie cheese, rind on or off
  • 1/2 cup cranberry sauce (whole berry or homemade)
  • Fresh rosemary, optional for garnish
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Honey, optional for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin.
  2. Roll out puff pastry and cut into approximately 24 squares (about 2 inches each).
  3. Press each square into the muffin tin to form a pastry cup.
  4. Place a cube of brie into each pastry cup.
  5. Top each with a spoonful of cranberry sauce and a small rosemary sprig, if using.
  6. Brush pastry edges with egg wash for a golden finish.
  7. Bake for 15–18 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  8. Let cool slightly before removing from the tin. Drizzle with honey if desired and serve warm.

Notes

  • Swap cranberry sauce with fig jam, raspberry preserves, or pepper jelly for variations.
  • Add chopped toasted pecans under the brie for a savory crunch.
  • Use orange zest in the cranberry sauce for added brightness.
  • Freeze unbaked bites and bake straight from frozen, adding extra bake time.
