Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 4 oz brie cheese, cubed
- ½ cup cranberry sauce
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the puff pastry bites.
- Prepare Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet and cut it into evenly sized squares to fit inside a mini muffin pan.
- Assemble Bites: Place each puff pastry square into a cup of the mini muffin pan, then add a cube of brie cheese followed by a spoonful of cranberry sauce on top.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 14 to 16 minutes, or until the puff pastry is puffed up and golden brown.
- Serve Warm: Carefully remove the pastry bites from the muffin pan and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use quality cranberry sauce for the best flavor contrast with the creamy brie.
- Make sure puff pastry is fully thawed for easy handling and even baking.
- Serve immediately after baking as puff pastry is best enjoyed warm and flaky.
- These can be prepared ahead of time and baked right before serving.
