These Cranberry Brie Bites are a perfect treat for your holiday gatherings! Flaky puff pastry is filled with creamy brie, topped with sweet-tart cranberry sauce, and baked until golden and delicious.
Ingredients:
1 package (1 sheet) refrigerated puff pastry, thawed
1 cup brie cheese, cut into small cubes
1 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional for crunch)
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Optional: Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs for garnish
Instructions:
Preheat and Prep:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly flour a surface and roll out the thawed puff pastry. Cut into 2-inch squares, yielding about 12-16 squares.
Assemble the Bites:
Lightly grease a muffin tin and press each puff pastry square into a muffin cup. Place a small cube of brie cheese into each cup. Top with 1-2 teaspoons of cranberry sauce and sprinkle with chopped pecans or walnuts if desired.
Bake:
Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg to help achieve a golden finish. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden, and the brie is melted.
Garnish and Serve:
Let the bites cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme for extra flavor and a festive touch.
