Step-by-Step Instructions for Mini Cranberry Brie Bites
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets to about ⅛ inch thick.
- Using a knife or a round cookie cutter, cut the puff pastry into squares or circles measuring about 3 inches wide.
- Place the cut-out pastry pieces onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In the center of each pastry piece, place a small cube of Brie cheese.
- Spoon about one teaspoon of cranberry sauce over the Brie cheese in each pastry.
- If desired, season lightly with salt and pepper, and add a few fresh thyme leaves on top.
- Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to create a little package, or leave them open.
- Brush the tops of the pastry with the beaten egg to give them a gorgeous golden color once baked.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Once baked, remove the trays from the oven and let the Mini Cranberry Brie Bites cool for a few minutes before serving.
