These Baked Cranberry Brie Bites are a delightful appetizer featuring creamy brie cheese and sweet-tart cranberry sauce baked inside flaky puff pastry. Enhanced with optional candied pecans for crunch and fresh rosemary for a festive aroma, they are perfect for holiday gatherings or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale

Puff Pastry Layer

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

Filling

  • 4 oz brie cheese, cut into 12 cubes
  • ½ cup cranberry sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tbsp candied pecans, chopped (optional)

Garnish

  • Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini muffin tin lightly to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Pastry Cups: Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a clean surface and cut it into 12 equal squares. Gently press each square into the greased mini muffin cups, forming little pastry cups.
  3. Add Filling: Place one cube of brie cheese into each pastry cup, then spoon a tablespoon of cranberry sauce over the brie. If you like extra texture and flavor, sprinkle some chopped candied pecans on top.
  4. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly and melted.
  5. Cool and Garnish: Remove the bites from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes. Garnish each bite with a small sprig of fresh rosemary to add a festive touch before serving.

Notes

  • Use store-bought cranberry sauce for convenience or homemade sauce for a fresher taste.
  • Candied pecans add a lovely crunch and sweetness but can be omitted for a nut-free option.
  • Make sure the puff pastry is well-chilled before cutting to ensure easy handling.
  • Allow bites to cool slightly for easier handling and optimal flavor.
  • These bites can be assembled ahead of time and baked just before serving.
