Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 4 oz brie cheese, rind removed and cut into small cubes
- 1/4 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unfold the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into 12 equal squares.
- Place a cube of brie cheese in the center of each puff pastry square.
- Top the brie with a small spoonful of cranberry sauce.
- Bring the corners of the puff pastry up and pinch them together to enclose the filling. You can also simply fold the square in half to create a turnover.
- Place the pastry bites on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the pastry bites with the beaten egg.
- If using, sprinkle with fresh rosemary.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For a sweeter bite, you can add a drizzle of honey before baking.
- If you don’t have whole berry cranberry sauce, jellied cranberry sauce can be used, but cut it into small pieces.
- These can be assembled ahead of time and baked just before serving.
