Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (14.1 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 wheel (8 ounces) brie cheese, cut into small cubes
- 1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 12 equal squares.
- Place one cube of brie cheese in the center of each pastry square.
- Place about 1/2 teaspoon of cranberry sauce on top of the brie cube.
- Bring the four corners of the pastry up over the filling and pinch them together firmly to seal the bite completely. Ensure the seal is tight to prevent cheese leakage.
- Place the sealed bites, seam-side down, onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
- If you want a richer flavor, brush the tops of the pastry with an egg wash (1 beaten egg) before baking.
- For a sweet and savory variation, sprinkle a few chopped pecans or a tiny drizzle of honey over the cranberry sauce before sealing the pastry.
- You can assemble these bites up to 4 hours ahead of time; keep them covered in the refrigerator and bake just before your guests arrive.
