Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 4 ounces brie cheese, cut into small cubes
- 1/4 cup cranberry sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface.
- Use a small round cutter (about 2 inches) to cut circles from the pastry. You should get about 12 to 16 circles.
- Gently press the pastry circles into the wells of a mini muffin tin to form small cups.
- Place a small cube of brie cheese into the bottom of each pastry cup.
- Top the brie with about 1/2 teaspoon of cranberry sauce.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the brie is melted and gooey.
- Remove from the oven and let the cranberry brie bites cool in the tin for a few minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving warm.
Notes
- For an extra touch, sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt over the cranberry sauce before baking.
- If you want a richer flavor, use a brie wheel with the rind removed.
- These are best served warm, but you can assemble them ahead of time and bake them right before your guests arrive.
