Ingredients
Dough
- 1 sheet puff pastry or crescent dough
Filling
- 6 ounces brie cheese, cut into cubes
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
Optional Garnish
- Chopped rosemary
- Chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the bites to a golden crisp.
- Prepare Dough Cups: Cut the puff pastry or crescent dough into squares that will fit neatly into the cups of a mini muffin tin, then place each square into the tin, forming little cups.
- Add Brie and Cranberry Sauce: Place a cube of brie cheese into each dough cup, then spoon a small amount of cranberry sauce on top of the cheese for a sweet contrast.
- Bake: Bake the filled dough cups in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese has softened.
- Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven, optionally sprinkle chopped rosemary or pecans on top for added flavor and texture, and serve warm.
Notes
- Use either homemade cranberry sauce for a fresh flavor or canned cranberry sauce for convenience.
- These bites can be made ahead of time and reheated gently in the oven before serving.
