Ingredients
  

For the pastry
  • 1 nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 package (17.3 oz) frozen puff pastry thawed but still cold
For the filling
  • 4 oz Brie cut into 24 small pieces
  • 0.5 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce
  • 0.25 cup pecans finely chopped

Equipment

  • 1 24-cup mini muffin pan

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Lightly coat a 24-cup mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. Unfold the pastry sheets.
  4. Cut each sheet into 12 squares.
  5. Press one square into each muffin cup, letting the corners extend above the rim.
  6. Place one piece of Brie in each pastry cup.
  7. Top each with 1 teaspoon cranberry sauce.
  8. Sprinkle pecans over each.
  9. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden and the Brie is melted.
  10. Let the bites rest in the pan for 5 minutes.
  11. Carefully remove the bites from the pan.
  12. Serve warm.

Notes

Keep the puff pastry cold while working for the flakiest layers. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days; freezing is not recommended. For a nut-free version, omit the pecans.
