Description
These festive Cranberry Brie Bites feature a flaky puff pastry crust filled with gooey Brie cheese and sweet-tart cranberry sauce, making them the perfect savory-sweet appetizer for holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
Pastry
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
Filling
- 4 oz Brie cheese, cut into small cubes
- ½ cup cranberry sauce
- 1 tbsp chopped rosemary (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature while you prepare the bites.
- Prepare puff pastry: Cut the thawed puff pastry sheet into 2-inch squares and gently press each square into the wells of a mini muffin tin, forming little cups to hold the filling.
- Add filling: Place a cube of Brie cheese into each puff pastry cup, then top it with about 1 teaspoon of cranberry sauce for the perfect balance of creamy and sweet-tart flavors.
- Add rosemary: Sprinkle chopped rosemary over each bite if desired, to add a fragrant herbal note complementing the cheese and cranberry.
- Bake: Bake the bites in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the Brie is melted and bubbly.
Notes
- You can substitute crescent dough for puff pastry if needed for convenience.
- For added texture, sprinkle chopped walnuts on top before baking.
- Serve warm for the best gooey cheese experience.
