For the pastry bites

  • 8 oz creamy brie cheese, cut into small pieces Silky and rich, melts beautifully.
  • 1/2 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought) Provides tart sweetness.
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash) Gives a golden, glossy finish.
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary or thyme (optional) Aromatic notes for enhancement.

Preparation

Notes

For best results, use parchment paper on the baking sheet and allow the bites to cool slightly before serving to avoid burns from hot filling. You can prepare the bites in advance and store in the fridge before baking.
