Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 8 ounces brie cheese, cut into small cubes
- 1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Flour, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lightly dust a clean surface with flour. Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet. Cut the pastry into 12 equal squares.
- Place one cube of brie cheese in the center of each pastry square.
- Top the brie with about 1 teaspoon of cranberry sauce.
- Bring the corners of the pastry up over the filling and pinch the edges together firmly to seal the bite completely. Roll gently between your palms to form a ball shape.
- Place the sealed bites seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the pastry bites lightly with the beaten egg wash.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
- If you prefer a slightly different flavor, substitute fig jam for the cranberry sauce.
- For extra crunch, sprinkle a few chopped pecans on top before baking.
- Do not overfill the pastry, or the cheese may leak out during baking.
