Ingredients

  • 2 sheets puff pastry sheets - frozen
  • 8 oz. brie cheese - cut into 48 squares
  • 1 cup homemade cranberry sauce - or canned
  • fresh rosemary
  • a sprinkle of salt

Instructions

  • Make cranberry sauce. This naturally sweetened cranberry sauce is a simple four ingredient recipe, and tastes way better than store-bought sauce! See my recipe for further instructions.
  • Prep puff pastry. Take one sheet of puff pastry and place it on a clean surface that has been dusted with flour. Then slice it into 24 small rectangles.
  • Cube the brie. Cube the brie into 48 pieces. You can leave the outer coating on like shown, or remove it if you’d rather. Either way is fine.
  • Assemble bites. Use small mini muffin tins for this step. Place a piece of puff pastry in each one, squeezing the ends gently. Then place a cube of cheese on the puff pastry, and top it with a couple of teaspoons of cranberry sauce.
  • Bake. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven, for approximately 12-14 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
  • Serve. Serve the bites immediately, with a little sprig of fresh rosemary and a sprinkle of kosher salt.
  • Repeat with remaining ingredients. This makes 48 bites, so you can definitely only make 24 and save the ingredients for later.

Notes

  • You do not need to remove the rind before baking the brie. It is edible and barely noticeable after it’s baked in these bites. If you prefer to cut the rind off, you CAN, but it wastes a lot of cheese.
  • You can fully prepare these and pop them in the refrigerator for several hours. Then just bake as directed.
