Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place the wheel of brie cheese in the freezer for 15 minutes so that it keeps it's form while baking.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and spray a mini muffin pan generously with a non-stick cooking spray.
  • Sprinkle the flour onto a cutting surface and roll out the puff pastry. 
  • Cut the sheet lengthwise into 4 even strips and then cut it crosswise into 6 even strips making 24 equal size square pieces.
  • Press each piece down into the mini muffin tin.
  • Dice the wheel of cheese into 24 small pieces (approximately ¾ inch in size) and even place it inside of the center of each of the mini muffin tin.  
  • Top each square with a heaping teaspoon of the whole cranberry sauce.
  • Top each one with chopped pecans (if using).
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes until the dough is golden brown.
  • Let them rest in the pan for about 5 minutes. Carefully remove to a serving plate and top each piece with a sprig of fresh Rosemary (if using). 
  • Serve and enjoy!  

Notes

Use the Whole Cranberry sauce (not jellied) for this recipe.
Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Sometimes the brie and cranberry sauce bubbles out of the pastry while baking so just carefully scoop it back in after the cooking time while it’s cooling if needed. 
Spray the muffin tin generally so that the bites are easy to remove. Make sure to remove them while they are still warm. I find that a fork works well to carefully remove them from the pan.  
These can easily be assembled the night before, refrigerate and bake when you’re ready to enjoy them!
