Cranberry Brie Bites
Cranbetrry Brie Bites are flaky puff pastry cups filled with gooey brie and whole-berry cranberry sauce. They're perfect for Christmas morning or holiday brunch and they're ready in about 20 minutes.
Equipment
- 1 mini muffin tin with 24 wells
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry thawed
- 1 small wheel of brie cheese about 8 oz. should be enough
- 1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce store-bought or homemade works
- 1-2 sprigs fresh rosemary optional, for garnish or flavor
- Nonstick spray or butter for greasing the mini muffin tin
Instructions
- Prep the pan: Lightly grease a mini muffin tin with nonstick spray or butter. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the pastry: Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut into 24 equal squares. A pizza cutter or sharp knife works great for this.
- Form the cups: Press each pastry square gently into a mini muffin tin cavity to create a little cup shape.
- Add the brie: Cut the brie into small cubes about 3/4 inch. You can leave the rind on. Place one cube into each pastry cup.
- Add cranberry sauce: Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon cranberry sauce over each brie cube.
- Bake: Bake for 13–16 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden and the brie is melty.
- Cool slightly: Let the bites cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before carefully removing them. The brie will be molten, so a short cooling time helps them set.
