Step-by-Step Instructions for Mini Cranberry Brie Bites

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets until about ⅛ inch thick, then cut into squares or circles of about 3 inches in diameter.
  • Place the cut-out pastry pieces onto a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
  • In the center of each pastry, place a small cube of Brie cheese.
  • Add about one teaspoon of cranberry sauce over the Brie cheese in each pastry.
  • Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and optionally sprinkle fresh thyme leaves on top.
  • Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling or leave them open for a rustic look.
  • Brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg wash.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  • Allow the bites to cool for a few minutes before serving on a platter.

Notes

Ensure puff pastry is fully thawed and avoid overfilling to prevent soggy pastries. Experiment with different fillings for a unique twist.
