Ingredients
- 2 heets puff pastry 1 box) thawed but cold
- ½ cup cranberry sauce canned or homemade
- 8 ounces Brie cheese sliced thin
- 2 teaspoons rosemary minced, fresh
- 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 the bites refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Reheat gently in the oven at 300°F until warmed through to preserve pastry texture.
- Use homemade cranberry sauce if preferred for a fresher flavor.
- Rosemary can be swapped for thyme or omitted according to taste.
- Brie rind may be left on or removed as desired.
- Applying an egg wash yields a golden, shiny crust on the puff pastry.
