Ingredients
Scale
- 1 wheel of Brie cheese
- 1 sheet of puff pastry
- 1 cup of cranberry sauce
- Fresh thyme or rosemary (to taste)
- 1 beaten egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into squares, about 3 inches by 3 inches, yielding about 12 squares.
- Place each square of puff pastry into a greased muffin tin, gently pressing down to form cups.
- Spoon a small amount of cranberry sauce into the bottom of each pastry cup.
- Cut small pieces of Brie cheese and place them on top of the cranberry sauce.
- Sprinkle a pinch of fresh herbs over the cheese.
- Fold the corners of the puff pastry squares over the cheese and cranberries, creating a little bundle.
- Brush the tops of the pastry with the egg wash to give them a golden color when baked.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Once out of the oven, let the bites cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
