Ingredients

• 1 package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
• 1 wheel brie cheese, cut into small cubes
• ½ cup cranberry sauce

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
2. Prepare the pastry: Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, divide the pastry into approximately 2-inch squares.
3. Add the filling: Place one small cube of brie in the center of each pastry square. Add about one teaspoon of cranberry sauce on top of the cheese.
4. Fold and seal: Bring the corners of each pastry square toward the center, gently folding them over the filling. Press the edges lightly to help keep everything in place during baking.
5. Arrange for baking: Transfer the assembled bites to the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one to allow the pastry to puff up evenly.
6. Bake until golden: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the pastry is beautifully puffed, golden brown, and crisp.
7. Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let the bites cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm while the brie is soft and creamy!
