Preparation

- In a mixing bowl, combine the cranberry sauce with the zest and juice of the orange.
- Spoon the cranberry-orange mixture over the brie in each cup.

Baking
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the brie is melted and bubbly.
- Allow the bites to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain flaky texture. Feel free to experiment with toppings such as fig jam or fresh herbs.
