Ingredients
- 2 heets puff pastry (1 box) thawed but cold
- ½ cup cranberry sauce canned or homemade
- 8 ounces brie sliced thin
- 2 teaspoons fresh Rosemary minced
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lightly flour the counter or cutting board and unfold both of the thawed puff pastry sheets.
- Add ¼ cup of cranberry sauce to each puff pastry and spread evenly.
- Then lay 4 ounces of the sliced brie on top of the cranberry sauce.
- Sprinkle each sheet with one teaspoon rosemary.
- Gently roll each sheet of puff pastry as tightly as possible then seal the seam by pinching it slightly to it doesn't unroll.
- If the dough breaks, let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes and try again. It may be too cold.
- Using a sharp serrated knife, slice pieces that are about ¾” thick, approximately 10 per roll.
- Place the pinwheels on the lined cookie sheet at least 2” apart.
- In a small bowl, add the egg and a splash of water and beat it to create the egg wash.
- Brush the tops and sides of each pinwheel with the egg wash.
- Bake for 14-15 minutes or until the bites are golden brown.
- Sprinkle with sea salt or fresh chopped rosemary.

Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- To reheat, place them on a lined baking sheet and bake on 300° F for a few minutes until heated through.
- Thaw in the refrigerator for about 4 hours or on the countertop for 30 minutes before using.
- Use homemade cranberry sauce if desired.
- Leave the rind on or cut it off the brie, either way is fine.
- Omit the rosemary if desired or swap it for thyme.
- An egg wash helps our pinwheels become golden brown.
