Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 4 oz brie cheese, rind removed, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Sparkling sugar, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unfold the puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into 12 equal squares.
- Place a cube of brie in the center of each pastry square.
- Top each brie cube with about 1 teaspoon of cranberry sauce.
- Sprinkle chopped rosemary over the cranberry sauce.
- Bring the corners of each pastry square up and pinch them together to enclose the filling.
- Place the bites seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the pastry bites with the beaten egg wash.
- Sprinkle generously with sparkling sugar.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For a smoother cranberry topping, you can slightly mash the whole berries.
- If you don’t have fresh rosemary, you can use dried rosemary, but use about half the amount.
- These can be served warm or at room temperature.
