Cranberry Brie Puff Pastry Bites with Rosemary Honey
Flaky puff pastry bites filled with melted brie and cranberry sauce, finished with warm rosemary-infused honey for special occasions.
Equipment
- Mini muffin pan
- Saucepan
Ingredients
Pastry Bites
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 4 oz brie cheese, cut into small cubes
- 1/3 cup thick cranberry sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly grease a mini muffin pan to prevent sticking.
- Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll the puff pastry slightly to even out the thickness.
- Cut the puff pastry into evenly sized squares suitable for the muffin cavities.
- Press each pastry square gently into the muffin pan to form shallow pastry cups.
- Place a small cube of brie cheese into the center of each pastry cup.
- Spoon a small amount of thick cranberry sauce on top of the brie in each cup.
- Bake the pastry bites for 16 to 18 minutes until the pastry is puffed, crisp, and golden.
- While the pastry bakes, add the honey and chopped rosemary to a small saucepan.
- Warm the honey gently over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes to infuse the rosemary, then remove from heat.
- Remove the baked pastry bites from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
- Drizzle the warm rosemary honey lightly over each pastry bite.
- Serve the cranberry brie puff pastry bites warm for best texture and flavor.
Notes
Use thick cranberry sauce and avoid overfilling to maintain clean pastry structure.
