Description
Elegant cranberry brie bites with a harmonious blend of creamy, tart, and flaky textures, perfect for gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package of puff pastry (thawed)
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or high-quality store-bought)
- 8 ounces brie cheese (cut into small cubes)
- Fresh rosemary (finely chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to enhance its flakiness. Cut the pastry into squares, approximately 3×3 inches.
- Place the squares on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring sufficient spacing for expansion.
- Spoon a generous dollop of cranberry sauce into the center of each pastry square.
- Top with a cube of brie cheese, allowing its creamy texture to shine.
- Fold the corners of the pastry square over the filling, creating an elegant bundle.
- Brush the tops with beaten egg to bestow a golden finish.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Notes
Serve with extra cranberry sauce drizzled around for visual contrast and added flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container; reheat in the oven for optimal texture.
