Ingredients
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a mini muffin tin.
2. Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and roll gently to smooth any creases.
3. Cut each sheet into 12 equal squares, about 2 inches each, to yield 24 squares.
4. Place each square into the cups of the mini muffin tin or arrange on the baking sheet, pressing gently to form a well.
5. Top each pastry square with one cube of brie cheese and half a teaspoon of cranberry sauce.
6. Sprinkle with chopped rosemary or pecans if desired and brush the pastry edges with beaten egg for a golden finish.
7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden and the brie is melted.
8. Allow the appetizers to cool for 5 minutes before serving warm or follow make-ahead instructions for baking from chilled or frozen.
