Description

Sweet, savory, and perfectly gooey, these cranberry-brie puff pastry bites are the ultimate holiday appetizer—simple to make, elegant to serve, and irresistibly festive.


Ingredients

Scale

1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)

4 oz brie cheese, cubed

¼ cup cranberry sauce

Fresh rosemary (optional garnish)


Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.

2. Lightly grease your mini muffin pan.

3. Roll out your thawed puff pastry and cut into 2-inch squares.

4. Gently press each square into the muffin tin.

5. Add a cube of brie to each pastry shell. Top with a spoonful of cranberry sauce.

6. Bake for 13–15 minutes, until golden and bubbly.

7. Garnish with a pinch of fresh rosemary and serve warm.

Notes

Double the batch and reheat extras in the toaster oven the next day—just be sure they reach 165°F.

Optional: Try swapping cranberry sauce for fig jam or cherry preserves for a new flavor twist.
