Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff Pastry thawed
- 1 cup Cranberry Sauce
- 8 oz. Brie Cheese
- 2 tablespoons Pecans Chopped fine
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven. Preheat the oven to 400º F. Generously spray the muffin tin inside and on top with cooking spray. This step is essential for helping the pastry lift out of the pan.
- Prep the Puff Pastry. Roll out the first sheet of puff pastry and cut into 12 equal squares for a regular muffin tin or 18 squares for a mini muffin tin. Repeat with the second sheet. Place the squares into the muffin tin wells.
- Prep the Brie. Cut the wheel into 24-36 equal pieces. I find it easier to quarter the wheel, then cut each quarter into pieces.
- Assemble the bites. Place a piece of Brie in the center of each pastry square.
- Add Cranberry Sauce. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of cranberry sauce over the Brie. Sprinkle nuts on top if desired.
- Bake. Bake for 11–13 minutes or until the pastry is golden and the cheese is melty.
- Serve. Let rest for 3–5 minutes, then using a butter knife, gently loosen the melty cheese around the pastry and lift out with a spoon. Place on a serving platter.
Notes
Recipe Tips:
- Grease the muffin tin thoroughly, both the top and the inside of each well. This step is essential to ensure your cups pop out easily. Brie likes to stick.
- Don't overfill with cranberry sauce. A little goes a long way.
- Use mini muffin pans for the perfect bite-sized appetizer.
- Keep the puff pastry cold.
