Print Recipe

These cozy cranberry baked brie bites with puff pastry are a quick and easy appetizer featuring gooey melted brie and tart cranberry sauce wrapped in flaky golden puff pastry, ready in just 15 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 4 ounces brie cheese, rind removed and cut into 12 small cubes (about 1/2-inch each)
  • 1/3 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, gently unfold your thawed puff pastry sheet. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut it into 12 equal squares, each about 2 inches by 2 inches. Place the squares on your prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
  3. Take your brie cubes and place one cube in the center of each pastry square.
  4. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of cranberry sauce on top of each brie cube.
  5. Gently bring the four corners of each pastry square up toward the center, pinching them together to form a little bundle. Leave a small opening at the top.
  6. In a small bowl, beat your egg with a tablespoon of water. Using your pastry brush, lightly brush the tops and sides of each pastry bundle.
  7. Sprinkle the chopped fresh rosemary and a pinch of flaky sea salt over the tops of the bites.
  8. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed up and deeply golden brown.
  9. Let the bites cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep the pastry cold for best puff. Do not overfill. Can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance. For freezing, assemble and freeze before baking, then add 2-3 minutes to bake time. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes.
