Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups whole berry cranberry sauce
- 8 oz brie cheese
- 2 puff pastry sheets (thawed)
- Thyme for garnish
Instructions
- 1. Preheat Oven Begin by setting your oven to 375°F to ensure it reaches the correct temperature by the time you’re ready to bake.
- 2. Prepare Puff Pastry Cut the thawed puff pastry sheets into 3-inch squares. Gently press each square into the cups of a mini muffin tin, molding them to fit.
- 3. Add Brie and Cranberry Sauce Place a 1-inch slice of brie cheese in the center of each pastry square. Top each slice of brie with about 1 tablespoon of cranberry sauce, spreading it evenly.
- 4. Bake Place the mini muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the pastry corners turn lightly browned. The cheese should be melted and bubbly.
- 5. Cooling After baking, allow the pastries to cool in the tin for at least 5 minutes before serving. This rest period helps in handling and enhances flavor absorption.
