Cranberry Brie Bites
Cranberry Brie Bites feature flaky puff pastry filled with creamy Brie cheese and topped with whole berry cranberry sauce, garnished with chopped pistachios for a crunchy contrast. Baked until the pastry edges are golden and the cheese softens, they offer a warm combination of sweet, savory, and nutty flavors. These appetizer-sized bites are ideal for entertaining or a special snack.
