Ingredients
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
4 oz brie cheese, cut into 12 cubes
½ cup cranberry sauce (store-bought or homemade)
2 tbsp candied pecans, chopped (optional)
Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a mini muffin tin.
2. Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into 12 equal squares. Press each square into the muffin cups.
3. Place a cube of brie into each pastry cup.
4. Top with a spoonful of cranberry sauce and a sprinkle of candied pecans (if using).
5. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
6. Cool for 5 minutes, then top with a tiny sprig of rosemary for a festive touch before serving.
Notes
Make these bites extra festive with a touch of orange zest in the cranberry sauce.
For a nut-free option, omit the pecans or use toasted pumpkin seeds.
Best served warm, but they can be made ahead and reheated gently in the oven.
