A delightful appetizer blending rich brie cheese with sweet cranberry sauce, encased in flaky puff pastry, perfect for gatherings.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 24 bites 1x

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

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the chilled brie into 24 small cubes and place back in the fridge if warm.
  3. Unfold the thawed puff pastry on a floured surface and roll it into a rectangle (approximately 10×15 inches).
  4. Trim the pastry edges and cut into 24 equal squares.
  5. Press each pastry square into the cups of a mini muffin tin or place on a baking sheet.
  6. Add a cube of brie into each center and top with ½ to 1 teaspoon of cranberry sauce. Add nuts if using.
  7. Whisk egg and water to create an egg wash, brush the edges of the pastry.
  8. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly.
  9. 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.
