Description
Cranberry Brie Bites combine creamy brie, tangy cranberry sauce, and flaky puff pastry for the ultimate holiday appetizer. Ready in just 25 minutes, these bite-sized delights are perfect for festive gatherings, dinner parties, or elegant snacking.
Ingredients
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
1/2 cup cranberry sauce (store-bought or homemade)
4 oz brie cheese, cut into small cubes
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped (optional)
1 tbsp honey (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. - Prepare the Puff Pastry
Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 2×2-inch squares to yield 12-16 pieces. - Assemble the Bites
Place each square into a mini muffin tin to form cups. Add a spoonful of cranberry sauce, then a cube of brie on top. - Bake
Brush the pastry edges with beaten egg. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden and bubbly. - Finish and Serve
Cool slightly. Optionally, drizzle with honey and sprinkle rosemary. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Add prosciutto or nuts for a savory twist.
Freeze unbaked bites for up to 3 months; bake directly from frozen, adding a few minutes to cooking time.
Substitute phyllo dough for a crispier texture.
