Ingredients
  

Cranberry Brie Bites
  • 1 puff pastry Use 1 sheet thawed.
  • 8 oz brie Cut into 24 small cubes.
  • 0.5 cup whole berry cranberry sauce Set aside for topping.
  • 0.25 cup pecans Finely chopped.
  • 1 tbsp honey Drizzle after baking.
  • 0.25 fresh rosemary sprigs For garnish.

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan
  • 1 Cast iron skillet

Method
 

Prep and assemble
  1. Preheat oven to 375F, then grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin.
  2. Roll puff pastry lightly and cut into 24 squares, then press one square into each muffin cup.
  3. Place 1 cube of brie in each cup, then top each with 1 teaspoon whole berry cranberry sauce.
  4. Sprinkle chopped pecans over each bite so the tops are evenly covered.
Bake and finish
  1. Bake 13-15 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden and the brie is fully melted.
  2. Cool for 5 minutes in the tin, then drizzle with honey.
  3. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs and serve warm.

Notes

For the cleanest cup shape, press the puff pastry squares firmly up the sides so they bake into sturdy rims. Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 2 days, reheat in a 300F oven for 5-7 minutes to re-warm the brie. Freezing is not recommended because the pastry texture softens after thawing. Dairy swap: use brie-style plant-based cheese cubes if you want a vegetarian-friendly alternative.
