Description

Cranberry Brie Bites are a delightful and elegant appetizer combining creamy brie cheese with sweet and tangy cranberry sauce, baked in flaky puff pastry. These bite-sized treats are perfect for holiday gatherings and parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed)
  • 8 ounces brie cheese (cut into small pieces or wedges)
  • 1/2 cup cranberry sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
  • Fresh rosemary or thyme (for garnish, optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (for added crunch, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet. Cut it into squares, approximately 3×3 inches each.
  3. Arrange the puff pastry squares on the prepared baking sheet. Place a piece of brie cheese and a teaspoon of cranberry sauce in the center of each square. Sprinkle with chopped nuts if using.
  4. Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to create a pocket, or leave them open. Brush the edges with beaten egg to help seal.
  5. Brush the tops of the pastry bites with the remaining beaten egg for a golden finish.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Best enjoyed fresh.
  • Can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
  • Can be assembled a few hours in advance and refrigerated before baking.
  • Unbaked assembled bites can be frozen. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
