These little bites are the perfect blend of creamy, tangy, and crispy — golden puff pastry filled with gooey melted brie and sweet-tart cranberry sauce. Ideal for holidays, dinner parties, or a cozy night in. ❤️

🧾 Ingredients:

(You can use homemade or store-bought cranberry sauce — both work beautifully!)

👩‍🍳 How To Make Cranberry Brie Bites:

🔥 Step 1: Preheat the Oven

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

🧈 Step 2: Prepare the Puff Pastry

• Roll out thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface.

• Cut into approximately 2-inch squares using a knife or pizza cutter.

🧀 Step 3: Assemble the Bites

• Place a small cube of brie in the center of each pastry square.

• Top with 1 teaspoon of cranberry sauce.

🥐 Step 4: Fold and Seal

• Gently fold the corners of each pastry over the filling and press lightly to seal.

• Arrange the bites on your prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.

⏲️ Step 5: Bake

• Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

🥰 Step 6: Cool & Serve

• Let the bites cool slightly before serving — the melted brie will be hot!

• Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.

💡 Tips & Variations:

• Add a sprinkle of chopped pecans or walnuts on top before baking for crunch.

• Brush pastry with a beaten egg for an extra glossy finish.

• Try fig jam, apricot preserves, or raspberry sauce instead of cranberry for fun flavor twists.

• Make ahead: Assemble and refrigerate unbaked bites for up to 24 hours, then bake fresh when ready to serve.
