Description
Delicious bite-sized puff pastry filled with creamy brie cheese and tart cranberry sauce, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed, but still cold)
- 6 oz brie cheese (cut into small cubes)
- ½ cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into squares, approximately 3 inches by 3 inches.
- Place a few cubes of brie cheese on each pastry square, followed by a dollop of cranberry sauce on top.
- Fold the corners of the pastry squares toward the center to create a small cup and pinch the edges to seal them.
- Add more cranberry sauce on top if desired and brush the edges of the pastry with the egg wash.
- Transfer the assembled pastry cups to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and puffy.
- Let cool for a few minutes and garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs.
Notes
