Ingredients

For the Bites

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed (approx. 250g)
  • 1 small wheel Brie cheese, cubed (about 150g)
  • 1/2 cup cranberry sauce (about 120ml)

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until it’s about 1/8 inch thick.
  • Cut the pastry into small squares, roughly 3x3 inches.
  • Place a cube of Brie cheese and a spoonful of cranberry sauce in the center of each square.
  • Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling, pinching the edges to seal them securely.
  • Arrange the bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, giving them a little space in between.

Baking

  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed up.
  • Serve warm and enjoy the goodness!

Notes

These bites are best served warm right out of the oven. Pair them with a simple mixed greens salad or drizzle with honey or balsamic reduction for extra elegance. For make-ahead options, freeze the unbaked bites and bake from frozen, adding 5-10 minutes to bake time. Consider adding fresh herbs to elevate the flavor or experimenting with different cheeses.
