Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry thawed in the refrigerator (about 8.6 oz / 245 g)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour for rolling
  • 8 ounces brie cold, cut into 24 cubes of about 1/2 inch (225 g)
  • 1/2 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce (about 140 g)
  • 1/3 cup pecans toasted and finely chopped (35 g)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon honey optional, for drizzling
  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry into a 12-inch square and cut into 24 squares of about 2 inches.
  3. Press each square into a muffin cup, letting the corners stand up.
  4. Place a cube of brie in each cup, then top with about 1 teaspoon cranberry sauce and a few chopped pecans.
  5. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and deep golden.
  6. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove. Sprinkle with rosemary and flaky salt, drizzle lightly with honey and serve warm or at room temperature.

Make ahead: Assemble up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate, or freeze unbaked and bake from frozen for 20 to 22 minutes.
Leftovers: Refrigerate up to 3 days and reheat at 350°F for 5 to 7 minutes.
