Ingredients
- Frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
- Brie cheese, cut into small chunks
- Cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- Chopped pecans (optional)
- Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease your muffin tin or line it with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into 12 equal squares (24 squares total for a standard muffin tin).
- Press each puff pastry square into the muffin tin cups, gently molding them to fit. Let the corners stick up for a decorative look.
- Cut the brie into small chunks, about 1-inch cubes. Place one chunk in the center of each puff pastry cup.
- Add a teaspoon of cranberry sauce on top of each piece of brie.
- Optional: Sprinkle a few chopped pecans and a pinch of fresh rosemary on top for added flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the brie has melted.
- Let the bites cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the muffin tin. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
[‘Thaw puff pastry in the fridge for a few hours to prevent it from becoming too sticky.’, ‘Avoid overfilling the bites to prevent overflow during baking.’, ‘Use high-quality brie for the best flavor.’, ‘Keep puff pastry cold while working with it for better results.’, ‘Experiment with different toppings like herbs, nuts, or sea salt for variety.’]
