– 8 ounces brie cheese (cut into small pieces)

Instructions
Creating Cranberry Brie Bites with Puff Pastry is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Puff Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into squares (approximately 3×3 inches).
3. Assemble Bites: Place a square of pastry on the prepared baking sheet. Add a small piece of brie cheese and a spoonful of cranberry sauce in the center of each square.
4. Fold Pastry: Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to create a pocket. Pinch the edges to seal them securely.
5. Brush with Egg Wash: Use a pastry brush to apply the beaten egg on the tops of the bites for a golden finish.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden and puffed.
7. Cool Slightly: Once baked, remove the bites from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
8. Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle with fresh rosemary or thyme for added flavor and garnish.
These steps will guide you in creating these amazing Cranberry Brie Bites effortlessly.
