Make these simple, crowd-pleasing brie bites using puff pastry and cranberry sauce. They are quick to assemble and perfect for holiday parties or any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 4 ounces brie cheese, cut into small cubes
  • 1/3 cup cranberry sauce (whole berry or jellied)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped pecans (optional)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin.
  2. Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into 12 equal squares.
  3. Gently press each pastry square into the cups of the mini muffin tin, forming a small cup shape.
  4. Place a small cube of brie cheese into the bottom of each pastry cup.
  5. Top the brie with about 1/2 teaspoon of cranberry sauce. If using, sprinkle a few chopped pecans over the sauce.
  6. Brush the edges of the exposed puff pastry lightly with the beaten egg wash.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed, and the cheese is melted and gooey.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the brie bites cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a serving plate. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For make-ahead preparation, assemble the bites completely, cover the muffin tin, and refrigerate for up to 4 hours before baking. Add 2-3 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
  • If you prefer crescent rolls over puff pastry, use 1 can of refrigerated crescent roll dough and press pieces into the muffin tin cups instead.
  • For a different flavor, substitute fig jam or apricot preserves for the cranberry sauce.
