Ingredients

  • 1 cup brie cheese, cubed
  • 6 teaspoon cranberry sauce
  • 1 ready-rolled puff pastry
  • a few springs of fresh rosemary
  • (butter to grease the muffin tin)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (356 Fahrenheit).
  2. Cut the puff pastry into 6 squares.
  3. Grease the muffin tin, then arrange the puff pastry into each muffin tin hole.
  4. Add about 2 cubes of brie, one teaspoon of cranberry sauce, and a bit of fresh rosemary to each puff pastry.
  5. Bake for about 25 minutes or until golden.
  6. Remove from the oven, leave to cool, then use a sharp knife to loosen up the edges of the bites.

Notes

  • Even if your muffin tin  (or whichever tin you use) is brand new and it does not stick at all, I recommend greasing it well before adding the puff pastry.
  • They will pop put easily when ready, and you don't have to worry about some not-so-perfect brie and cranberry puff pastry.
  • When ready, leave them to cool before removing from the tin, hot puff pastry does not hold very well. Use a sharp knife around the edges if you have problems removing them from the tin, but they should come out perfectly.
  • Serve them the same day, I find that the puff pastry becomes soggy next day - and even if the bites are still delicious, they are not crispy and flaky anymore.
