Ingredients
For the Bites
- 1 sheet of puff pastry (halal-certified), thawed according to package instructions
- 8 ounces Brie cheese, cut into 24 small pieces
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
Optional Toppings
- 2 tablespoons chopped pecans or walnuts
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- Honey or maple syrup, for drizzling
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Puff Pastry
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or line it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth out any creases. Cut the pastry into 24 equal squares, about 2.5 inches each.
Step 2: Assemble the Bites
- Gently press each puff pastry square into the prepared mini muffin tin, creating a small cup.
- Place a piece of Brie cheese in the center of each pastry cup.
- Add a small spoonful of cranberry sauce on top of the Brie. Be careful not to overfill, as the filling will expand during baking.
Step 3: Add Toppings
- If desired, sprinkle the tops with chopped pecans or walnuts for a nutty crunch.
- Add a small pinch of fresh rosemary to each bite for a fragrant, earthy flavor.
Step 4: Bake the Bites
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the Brie is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let the bites cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a serving platter.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
- Drizzle the bites with honey or maple syrup for a touch of sweetness, if desired.
- Serve warm, and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors and textures.
