Equipment
- Mini muffin tin (12-cup)
- Rolling Pin
- Pastry cutter or knife
- Mixing Bowl
- Spoon
- Cooling rack
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet thawed
- 8 ounces Brie cheese cut into small cubes
- ¼ cup Cranberry sauce
- ¼ cup Chopped walnuts
- 1-2 sprigs Fresh rosemary chopped
- 1 tablespoon Honey optional, for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly grease a mini muffin tin to prevent sticking.
- On a floured surface, unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet and gently roll it out to smooth creases.
- Cut the pastry into 12 equal squares (about 3×3 inches each).
- Place one square into each muffin cup, pressing gently to form a small pastry shell with edges slightly overhanging.
- Add a cube of Brie to the bottom of each pastry cup.
- Spoon about one teaspoon of cranberry sauce on top of the Brie.
- Sprinkle chopped walnuts and a pinch of fresh rosemary over each bite.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and puffed and the Brie is melted.
- Remove from oven and cool for 2–3 minutes.
