Method
Prepping the Oven & Pastry
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard 24-cup mini muffin tin with melted butter or non-stick spray.
- Unroll the cold puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, slice the dough into 24 equal squares (a 4x6 grid).
Assembling the Holiday Bites
- Gently press one pastry square into each mini muffin cup, allowing the corners to point upward above the rim.
- Place one cube of brie cheese into the center of each pastry cup.
- Top each cheese cube with 1 generous teaspoon of whole-berry cranberry sauce and a sprinkle of chopped pecans.
Baking to Golden Crunch
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 14 to 16 minutes until the puff pastry edges puff tall and turn deeply golden-brown and the brie is thoroughly melted and bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes so the molten cheese sets slightly.
Garnish & Festive Plating
- Use a small offset spatula or butter knife to gently lift the brie bites onto a serving platter.
- Garnish each bite with a tiny rosemary needle and drizzle warm honey over the entire platter right before serving.
