Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry from a 17.3-ounce/490g package, thawed but kept cold
- 8 ounces 227g Brie cheese, chilled with rind left on
- ½ cup whole berry cranberry sauce
- 1 large egg for the egg wash
- 1 tablespoon water
- ¼ cup chopped toasted pecans or walnuts optional
- Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs drizzle of honey, or flaky sea salt for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the chilled brie into 24 small cubes and keep them cold. Roll the puff pastry into a smooth 10×15-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface, then cut into 24 even squares.
- Press each square into a mini muffin tin or place on the baking sheet. Add one cube of brie, a small spoonful of cranberry sauce, and toasted nuts if desired. Brush the pastry edges with egg wash for shine.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes until puffed, golden, and bubbling. Let cool slightly, then drizzle with honey or garnish with rosemary or flaky sea salt before serving.
