Ingredients

  • sheet prepared frozen puff pastry

    thawed in fridge overnight

    1
  • brie

    triple cream if possible

    4 oz
  • prepared cranberry sauce
    ½ c
  • chopped pecans
    ¼ c
  • flaky sea salt
    ½ tsp
  • rosemary

    cut into 24 small sprigs

    2 sprigs

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray. Use two-12 count muffin pans or 1-24 count muffin pan. (If you only have one-12 count pan, make the brie bites in batches*.)

  2. 2

    Dice the brie into 24 equal sized pieces, about 1". Place them on a plate and pop in the freezer for 20 minutes while preparing the other ingredients.

  3. 3

    On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry to a 10x14 rectangle and cut the puff pastry into 24 equal sized squares.

  4. 4

    Press the puff pastry squares down into each crevice. Pierce the bottom of the puff pastry with a fork a few times.

  5. 5

    Add one brie square into the bottom of each puff pastry. Top the brie with a spoonful of cranberry sauce. Then sprinkle over some sea salt, and the pecans.

  6. 6

    Place the muffin pan atop a baking sheet to catch any spillage during the bake time. Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes.

  7. 7

    If any of the brie bubbles out of the pan, scoot it back into the center of the puff pastry with a spoon while it's still pliable. Once they cool, top with a small sprig of rosemary. Serve hot or at room temperature.

About this Recipe

Searching for that perfect holiday appetizer that effortlessly blends elegance with irresistible flavor? These Baked Brie Cranberry Puff Pastry bites are precisely what you need, delivering warm, melty brie and tangy cranberry in every flaky, buttery bite. This recipe shines because it takes simple, beloved ingredients and elevates them into a truly special treat. The magic happens when creamy, rich brie melts into a sweet and tangy cranberry sauce, all encased within delicate, golden puff pastry. It’s a combination that’s both familiar and luxurious, making it an instant crowd-pleaser for any festive gathering. When these come out of the oven, expect a golden-brown, inviting aroma filling your kitchen. Each bite delivers a symphony of sensations: the delicate, crisp layers of the puff pastry crackle before yielding to the incredibly creamy, molten brie cheese. That luscious texture is then met by the vibrant, sweet-tart cranberry sauce, cutting through the richness beautifully. The subtle, piney notes of fresh rosemary and the earthy crunch of chopped pecans complete the experience, adding layers of flavor and texture that make this appetizer truly special and festive. This recipe is wonderfully adaptable for your preferences. For an even more indulgent experience, using a triple cream brie is highly recommended for its extra richness and melt. While prepared cranberry sauce offers convenience, you could also use a homemade version for a personalized touch. If pecans aren't your favorite, a light sprinkle of chopped walnuts or even thinly sliced almonds could offer a similar textural contrast and nutty flavor. These bites are ideal as a festive holiday appetizer or a sophisticated finger food for any celebratory occasion. Arrange them beautifully on a platter with extra rosemary sprigs for an inviting presentation that promises warmth and flavor.
