Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 4 oz brie cheese, cut into 12 cubes
- ½ cup cranberry sauce, store-bought or homemade
- 2 tbsp candied pecans, chopped (optional)
- Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a mini muffin tin to prevent sticking.

- Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then garnish each bite with a small rosemary sprig before serving.

- You can prepare the pastry cups in advance and fill them just before baking.
- These bites can also be served warm or at room temperature.
