Cranberry Brie Appetizers

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cranberry Brie Appetizers.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, gather all your ingredients and grab a 24-cup mini muffin pan.

3. Step 3

   Give it a light spray with cooking spray to ensure your delicious bites come out easily.

4. Step 4

   Next, take your Brie cheese and remove the rind.

5. Step 5

   To make cutting easier, pop the cheese into the freezer for about 20 minutes.

6. Step 6

   While the Brie chills, roll out your thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until it forms a rectangle about 10x14 inches.

7. Step 7

   Cut the pastry into 24 squares by slicing it into 4 strips lengthwise and then cutting those strips crosswise into 6 pieces.

8. Step 8

   Now, gently press each square into the muffin cups, making sure they fit snugly and create a little pocket for all the tasty fillings.

9. Step 9

   Once your Brie is chilled, cut it into 24 pieces, each roughly 3/4-inch in size.

10. Step 10

    In each pastry-lined muffin cup, add a teaspoon of cranberry sauce, followed by a piece of Brie, and then sprinkle on a teaspoon of chopped walnuts.

11. Step 11

    For a finishing touch, add a tiny pinch of sea salt on top of each bite to enhance the flavors.

12. Step 12

    If you’re preparing ahead, you can chill the muffin pan in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or cover it and keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days.

13. Step 13

    When you’re ready to bake, place the muffin pan in your preheated oven and let it work its magic for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the pastry turns a beautiful golden brown.

14. Step 14

    Once they’re out of the oven, let them cool slightly before serving warm.

    Get ready to enjoy these delightful Cranberry Brie Bites that are sure to impress your family and friends!.
