Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry (from a 17.3-ounce/490g package), thawed but kept cold
- 1 (8-ounce/227g) wheel or wedge of brie cheese, chilled
- ½ cup whole berry cranberry sauce
- 1 large egg, for egg wash
- 1 tablespoon water
- ¼ cup optional chopped pecans or walnuts, toasted
- Optional garnish: fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs, honey, or flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the chilled brie into 24 small cubes and place back in the fridge if warm.
- Unfold the thawed puff pastry on a floured surface and roll it into a rectangle (approximately 10×15 inches).
- Trim the pastry edges and cut into 24 equal squares.
- Press each pastry square into the cups of a mini muffin tin or place on a baking sheet.
- Add a cube of brie into each center and top with ½ to 1 teaspoon of cranberry sauce. Add nuts if using.
- Whisk egg and water to create an egg wash, brush the edges of the pastry.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly.
- Cool for 5-10 minutes, then garnish and serve.
Notes
Keep brie chilled while cutting to prevent melting too quickly. Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat for a quick snack.
